In discussing separation of hive bodies, it was said "Then I wiggle the hive
tool along the back end of the hive body and
lever down the frames that have been glued to their neighbors above."
 
I have always felt that when the frames are glued together, that means the
bee space is not correct.  Personally, I have only had this happen when I
have mixed bodies from two different manufacturers.  I now check bee space
before I put bodies together and trim off a sliver on a table saw, or add a
strip of wood, when necessary.
