I hived the bees last Sunday
and took the queen cage ect
out this Saturday,
(along with a nice white triangle of
comb containing a little pollen)
but when went to fill up the empty space
there was enough room for ten frames
...plus almost enough room for an eleventh frame.

The question is what should I do with the extra
space in the hive.  All the frames seemed to
slide toward one side of the hive by the force
of gravity alone.

Should I put some shims under the hive stand
to level out the hive so things don't slide
and evenly space out the frames by eyeball
or is there some kind of equipment I can get
to space out the frames precisely?
