If you want the damaged sections rebuilt with worker comb, and not drone 
comb, some management may be in order regarding colony size, time of 
year and position.

Placing the box below might result in drone comb if the colony is strong 
and the damage is not minor.

Honey placed below will be carried up and stored higher up usually.
