It's been two weeks today since I opened my new hive since establishing it in order to ensure that my queen was released. This is my very first colony of honey bees.

In my (short) experience they normally only make the hanging combs if there's a lot of space between sheets of foundation. If you have 10 frames now, they probably won't again, but keep an eye out to make sure you didn't leave a small amount of the hanging comb on the top of a frame, or they may re-draw it instead of using the foundation. It's even more of a mess if they build their own and then attach to the foundation part way down.

They made these pieces with ten frames, and I was careful to make sure they were pressed together (side bar to sidebar with the entire group centered in the box). The only thing I can think of was that maybe the chunk that I dropped down inside the to the bottom board created just enough of a gap at the bottom of a couple frames. But this bur was created exactly as you described: Built their own and attached it to the foundation part way to the bottom of the frame.

Blizzard starts selling world of warcraft gold,I don't have a lot of detail on this, but the news from Comic-Con is that Blizzard is finally starting to sell gold! Collectible WoW-inspired cheap wow gold, silver, and copper coins, that is. What did you think I was talking about?They'll come in both Horde and Alliance versions on www.wowatm.com, and are being made by DC Unlimited. DC also handles the WoW comic, so that's unsurprising. If we hear anything more on pricing and/or availability world of warcraft gold, we'll be sure to let you know.
