Last fall when I removed frames of honey from one of my hives,  a couple of
the frames (Pierco plastic, undrawn foundation, no wires, in wooden frame)
contained drawn comb filled with honey not attachd to the foundation.  The
bees had drawn a typical comb, but it was as if they ignored the foundation,
and created a doubled-sided comb (on each side of the foundation).

I simply lifted it off of each side,  and cut it into pieces of "comb"
honey.  It was a treat !

Any guesses why the bees did this ?   I'm thinking it had something to do
with bee-space and crowding.  I wouldn't mind collecting this type of honey
again!
