Do honey bees lay both sides of a intercomb gap (between comb bee space) as a rule or do they often lay on only one side of the gap? The inter comb gap here is the important part of the question. I must admit I've never noticed in 10 years, but then I was not looking for it.
but I found this line in paper "
The location and size of the brood area on the comb surfaces in adjacent frames facing each other was more or less identical." is this statement true in your experience? It has some profound effects in heat transfer.
