Hello,
I picked up some mann lake frames for my first hive, and I installed them with a 5 frame nuc I purchased. I was wondering what kind of issues people have had with these and how they use them successfully.
I put 2 frames on either side of the nuc and on my first inspection they had drawn out a flattened mushroom shaped comb. Normal comb on the outside, but with passageways underneath near the foundation. When I installed my second super I had this occur again. Am I leaving too much space between frames? I currently have 9 frames in each super, should I be using 10 to reduce the space between foundation?
Cheers,
KGBee
