I opened my hive (new last year) for a good inspection for the first time last weekend (we have had wet, cold weather). My bees have built bridges from the brood chamber up to the second bee box and the queen has laid eggs (larvae visible) in the comb between and onto the lower portion of the upper box. My question is should I remove all the excess between the boxes so I can get down into the brood chamber and scrap the tops of the brood frames clean? Will this over agitate the bees? These are NOT queen cells (I am sure). They are the same size cells as the rest of the cells. HELP!
