checked a couple of hives last night and awhile back I had put in a couple of frames that I had turned and glued the wedges so I could see if the ladies would build on them without plastic. I had been reading a book by a person I see on here and thought it interesting so I thought what the heck and threw a few in. Well! low and behold last night when I looked they had 2 frames that had V shaped combs drawn out in the center of both. One was drawn out completely to the bottom and the other about two thirds of the way to the bottom. I also had some new waxed plastic that have never hardly been touched and the one that they were working on had a 3" X 5" area that was drawn out.
Now my question is that since they're making their own which is going to be a cell size they like, is the queen going to favor those over the plastics?
Do I need to start weeding out the old drawn plastics and get rid of the new ones replacing them with empty frames?
