do your work over the top of the upside down cover, start at the outside frame where the queen is unlikely to be, and just be brutal. use your hive tool and scrape and cut and only leave the good. they will be set back some but will rebuild. you must pay the price for not stopping them in time, but it will be fine. good luck,mike

P.S. when you put the frames back in, push them tightly together and leave any extra space on the outside. make sure you put in 10 frames. good luck,mike
