Wonky wax

I’ve had bears, swarms and now wonky wax! Beekeeping is just…beekeeping, every day there’s something new.

In this photo the bees built honey comb which attached to the top part of the frame and hangs parallel to the foundation. The bees can access the comb from both sides. It’s actually how they would naturally build comb if they were housed in a tree cavity. But why they’re building it here, I have no idea!

This is brace comb. It spans between two frames connecting them. You can also see the pretty white-capped honey. That’s what it looks like when it’s ready to harvest.

Thick and thin.

Why?
