In a new hive, started from a nuc a few weeks ago, the bees have built comb on the bottom edge of the frames, and this comb contains some capped brood. The comb area is several square inches, and must extend to the bottom of the bottom board. There is plenty of space available for comb in the rest of the hive.
The largest amount of comb is on a black pierco frame.
Why are the bees building this comb? Should I remove it?
Thanks for your help on this and my many other questions!
