Can anything be done to encourage straight comb-building in top bar
hives after the colonies have begun building comb "off-center"?  I'm
experimenting with two TBHs this year.  Both colonies were installed
4/14, and both are building beautiful new comb, but their combs are
about 30-degrees off parallel.  Each comb is attached across two or
three top bars.  Obviously, I'd like to correct this problem before
much more new comb is built.
