We occasionally get this build up of burr comb but I have found that if you
give them foundation plus an extra super, they will not build as much burr
comb.  It doesn't stop it but lessenes it.

We never worry about the burr comb. Cut and save the best cells and move on
but then time is precious for us.
We would never give a cell starter colony (queenless bees) foundation but
find interesting the ways others raise queens. Actually we never give our
Finish colonies foundation either.
