Hi everyone. I split my 4 deep frame observation hive last Sunday because they were prepping to swarm. Decided to give them 3 foundationless frames because they love building comb. Apparently they love it so much they decided to impress me by building it from the bottom bar of the top frame skywards instead of the usual top down. Has anyone ever seen this before. I was always under the impression that they built downwards. Here is a link to the pics that I took. I am holding a glass of water so that you can see the orientation of the pictures isnt upside down.
