Tag: comb

New at this. Installed 5/14, they have ~5 frames drawn out with both brood and resources. Found this wierd cup like comb, anything I should worry about or look out for?

Are they doing this right? Much of the comb is raised off of the waxed foundation.

Bees are not drawing on the frame but creating comb

What’s the oldest comb you’d be willing to use?

I got some frames from a family member that have been in storage for about a year and a half? Everything looks in good condition, just don’t know if there is any reason to scrape off the existing comb or not. https://i.imgur.com/C7ZVK4X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SgfwvYt.jpg submitted by /u/BallsEleven [link] [comments]

Should I add a second box? I’ve heard that 5-7 frames of comb is the right sign. If so, should I move a brood frame up or just put 10 foundation frames? (The order of the pictures should go, roughly, left to right of what is in the box. With the 10th frame being a feeder)

New queen after friend gave me a couple frames of bees with eggs and brood. We have the box full of frames to restrict open space. Why are they building comb like this? They are also putting brood in comb hanging off the bottom of some frames. Saw the brood too late. Still some empty, waxed frames.

Is this comb damaged from moisture? Any good for a swarm trap?

Bees have abandoned honey super after poking around it for a month. No comb built. Ideas?

Should I let this comb grow upwards / and is it normal to drink a pint of syrup in one day?
