>>Really? Don't see very much of that, as would consider it improper box spacing with frames either wrong sized, or frame rests not finished/sized proper depth for allowing frames proper spacing in hanging.
My spacing is *standard*. It seems the bees want to have continuous combs vertically and therefore build a single level row of drone cells to join the frames bet. adjacent levels. What spacing do you maintain bet. frame tops and bottoms?
I may take one hive and shave its box bottoms off so that the frame top to bottom spacing is ~1/8" and see if the bees don't build up the space. Can't go too tight since have to let the bees pass bet. the frames in the winter.
