There's a big clue - "18".
I'm going to guess that you have a hive where 9 frames of
bare foundation were placed in a 10 frame hive. This is a
classic recipe for a royal mess.
> and replace with a combination of good drawn comb and foundation.
Cut away only what you must to allow the frames to be removed,
and insert a 10th frame into each box. If the bees want to draw
comb in mid-summer, they will. If not, they will at least "clean
up" at bit, and have a chance to draw comb properly next spring.
