Same thing happened on my new hive this year. When placing my new queen cage
in the hive, I left out one frame for a total of nine. Within a week, I had
bridge comb and comb resembling a mushroom being built off the side of the
one with the largest gap. The queen would hide under there until I removed
those bridges and the mushroom. When I placed the tenth frame in, they
proceeded to build normal comb, which made it easy to monitor their
progress.

I saw this in my friends hive last year. He had frame spacers
in his honey supers, and inserted 9 frames of foundation.
