Thanks for your advice Eric. Got 3 on double brood and will check them out at the weekend and see if any action is required.Yes; bees will work to consolidate the nest and return it to an ovoid shape.
In my first naive summer (no training, no book, the beekeeper had died) I opened a solid colony in August, saw it was rammed with bees & honey and rang one of our senior members (aka a practical old boy). His answer: give them something to do! has always stayed in mind.
