Hi Waldemar -

I did not. It was 28' off the ground in the eave of the roof, and I was
doing it as a sub for the homeowner's pest control guy so I didn't have the
time to study the comb positioning. I did bring all the comb home with me
and studied it there. I was able to find one piece of comb that had a cell
pattern different than the rest and I guess as close to the "center comb"
cell pattern as I have ever seen.

It's just a small section and by no means a full comb, but nonetheless,
transitional. I will be paying close attention to positioning of comb this
coming year with any cut-out I do. I am also starting a modified TBH so I
can allow my SC bees to build with no cell restrictions and see how they do
size wise and positioning wise. I made the frames very big so I can see how
they do with distribution of various size cells easier.
