My lovely bees keep building comb up, on top of the frames. I want them to build comb only sideways, on the nice frames I gave them. They don't understand that. So I have to go into the hive and scrape away all that hard work. Seems cruel doesn't it?

This is probably a really dumb question, but ...are you able to maybe soften or flatten it out somehow and spread it out, putting it where you want it to go?
Mmmmmm, yummy!
Not a dumb question. The bees are extremely particular about how big each cell is so I don't think I could ever put this comb into a frame in a way that would suit them. BUT!! The comb can be collected and melted down so I can make candles or hand/face cream. My freezer is beginning to fill up with the stuff so it's not going to waste.
