15 days ago, I
checkerboarded
and added a medium box. Today I repeated that process to keep
up with the nectar flow. My version of checkerboarding uses
foundation-less frames with no drawn comb. New comb is drawn in a typical pattern of merging teardrop curves.
I used the right angle end of the (traditional spring steel) hive tool to increase the space between frame top bars. Next I lifted the top bar end with a Frame Cleaner tool - that
yellow handle tool in my right hand. I've forgotten how I discovered
this indispensable off-label use of the Frame Cleaner tool.
