Has anyone noticed whether or not bees will chew through comb in the winter 
to create access holes for moving laterally to reach winter stores?

    It's been quite a few years since I have used deep frames, all medium 
now. My recollection is I saw more chewed frames then, very seldom now, 
possibly due to more frequent spacing?
