Frames stuck together

[freethorpe bees]

I think it's the problem I have with my spacers but two frames are now stuck together. It's one frame which has plastic spacers and one which has self spacing so I must have put them too close last time I inspected.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to seperate them please?

I went in the hive today and they were seriously pi**ed off! Got several stings on the front of my leg. It was quite a nasty attack - horrible girls today!

Prize them apart and cut the brace wax off.

Prize them apart and cut the brace wax off.

can happen in hot weather when the wax or foundation slumps as well

just have to go for it, with a flat kitchen knife, next time leave it till last,

quick cut then cover on (or manipulation cloth on , then walk away for 20mins if they are angry..and you can't stand the heat

Thanks for the advice - I'll arm myself with a kitchen knife next time I go in!
