Hi Chris,

> Over or under?

The bars should possibly have been a smidge wider.

I'm not sure why precisely. Others have observed a much wider spacing
between combs used to store honey outside the brood area in feral nests.
What I may be seeing is the bees transitioning to that kind of spacing.

Regards
Dennis
With lots more space in the tbh for comb building and lots more to learn.
