I put a super on two weeks agon that had foundation only. I used a 9 frame spacer and they are bridging the frames together. It just makes a mess, should I go back to 10 frames or is there a special way??

When you give them foundation you must use 10 frames or you violate bee space:no:, if you are giving them drawn comb you can use 9 and they will draw them out a bit more with no problems.

Makes sense! Thanks!

Glad you posted this. I was just going to switch some of mine to 9 frames.

Just make sure you have already drwan out comb. Because mine is a mess due to frames being bridged together. I guess tomorrow Ill slap in the missing link.

It works fine with 9 frame spacing of drawn comb. Not so well with foundation...
