The bees have built comb from the frames, up onto the bottom of the feeder piece. This made it very difficult to lift as it was joined. I cut this away and it was full of honey, however, I dropped it in shock as I felt a sting on my foot. The bees have built some comb across the frames, I destroyed this as well. 1/3 of the hive appears to be filled with stores and I cannot see that much brood. I did not see the queen, or any queen cells, but I did see her one week ago. Can you see any problems here? How can I prevent the build up of comb?
