Rookie going foundationless

Ok, so I bought the Walter Kelley Foundationless frames with the wooden comb guide at the top. Am I correct in assuming that with level hives I only have to correct crooked comb that the bees draw out? No wax or popsicle sticks, correct?

Make sure to keep the frames pressed against each other. Do not leave spaces between the frames, as that will encourage cross comb. You may still have some squirrelly comb during the year, so you may need to occasionally correct some cross comb during the year.

I started foundationless last year, and really enjoyed seeing the girls' handywork.
