I have noticed that due to their length, when pushing 14 x 12 frames during inspections that there is a tendency for the bottom edge of the frames to trail or drag slightly and not truly hang vertically in the short term.
Do others notice this phenomena and if so what do they do about it to ensure that bee space is not compromised at the lower extremity of the frames, even briefly when it comes to inserting the final (not necessarily the last) frame during the inspection?
 
Know what you mean - I must take more care when making frame to lock in the base wiring. And keep frames vertical on examination. I cannot think of any other way round it or what we are doing wrong:toetap05:
Doesn't happen most of the time -but when it does - as you say compromises bee space.
