Noticed on my inspections this year that the foundation near the bottom bars has either been nibbled away or not drawn out. The weight has then distorted or buckled the comb meaning I've had to use elastic bands to straighten and/or reinforce the comb.
Is this an issue with 14*12 frames? Inferior foundation or frames? Bottom of the hive too cold due to omf? Beekeeping error?
Thanks
