I decided to take a quick peek at my first super on Saturday. I had three frames of foundation in the middle, the rest was drawn. All looked good, foundation drawn and necter evident after a couple days.
Then I decided to peek at my drone trap in the upper brood box, looked good I'll freeze in a couple weeks.
Then I decide to peek at the outside frame in the brood box. It fell apart in a couple spots. Oops, I put it back and closed up wondering what to do?
I grabbed a pail and a frame of foundation, pulled the broken comb and put in the foundation, brushed the bees off with a handful of grass and closed it up.
I brought it in and tasted it and recalled a taste from many years back, wow!
I later noticed it was drawn on only one side, I figured that this is what caused it to break.
Is this common? The foundation was in nice and straight.
I am convinced that I have stupid bees and they haven't read any of the books that I have.
The cells were only capped about say 10% and the honey was yelowish with an ever so slight green tinge.
