Hello all!!!!!! mike here in alaska.I have built hives as per Michael Bush.I was wondering if i can just leave a small gap between the bars until they start drawing a couple of bars.Then tighten up before drawn to depth.Then i can use the combs as guides to drop empty bars between.

Hello all,i am wondering if my question was not clear? thanks mike.

Thanks to all who responded!!!!! I cut out 3"wide strips of fondationless brood comb from a langs frame,and hung from 2 bars with an empty in between them.Is this sufficient, with due diligence on my part ,to add empty bars between.When you hang comb how tight do you have against the bars.I figured it would be easier to attach if the bees have access between most of the comb.Also,gravity can help keep it straight until reattached.Thanks,mike

Hi michael,thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!!! I tied them to the top bar,should hang like a plumb bob . Well,if they are to decide wher to put the brood,how do you know where to hang the 11/4" bars,and the 1 1/2" bars?
