Hello agiain Bee folks! I worked my bees yesterday and found something I have not seen before. I use permadent, plastic foundation in my hives. I added upper brood chambers about two weeks ago and opened the hives yesterday. In two of the hives I found the foundation undrawn in the central upper brood chamber but the ladies had drawn "wild comb" between the frames of foundation instead. They connected it to the undrawn foundation in spots and left "passages" on the face of the foundation they could walk through. It was like sheets of wild comb between the frames that covered about 1/2 the frame. Other frames of the BC were being drawn out normally. The frames were pushed together so excess space is not the cause. Has anyone seen this before? Why does this happen. I removed all the freak comb with brood in it and let them start over again hopeing they would draw out the frames correctly this time. Folks. Please don't go off on dogmatic threads regarding the benefits of wax foundation over plastic. I have used alot of the plastic, as have other I know, with great sucsess. What do you think is going on here? I would like to know. Thanks. Mason Harris
