Only 5 days since install,and both of my new packages had extensive comb built under the empty queen cages. The contents were small amounts of uncapped honey,but there was also a bit of pollen.
What should I do with the comb? It seems a shame to have to rob such new hives of a good bit of their work thus far.

Pull the comb and use it for conversation and push the frames together so that the bees can draw out their frames.

Yeah,I just pulled them and the cages and corrected the frame spacing.

Still,it's a shame it can't be used. My FIL and BIL wire them in to empty frames,and let the bees fill in the rest.
