When I have just put starter strips into the top bar of a frame, the bees have always
built the comb just fine, well attached at the top and ends, but they have always left
a gap at the bottom above the bottom board.  They did not attach the comb to the
bottom board.  That is usually not a big problem unless you are using the frame for
extracting, but even then, I have extracted from these frames without too much problem
too.
