I expect that making mistakes is part of being a "newbee" and I am certainly making plenty. This mistake is that I ordered the wrong size foundation for my frames.


The bees should be fine with this - they'll make their own comb to fill the space. I'm planning to crush and strain the comb if I get any honey rather than using an extractor, so all of this should be fine, but I've been worrying about it - especially since I bought enough of this wrong size to fill five more supers - ARGHHHHHH

The amount of space between the bottom of the foundation and the bottom of the frame is only about 1/4" and if it hangs OK in the center of the frame, it ought not to bother the bees too much.
