Just center all frames tightly in the center of the box, leaving any space to the outside.
Thanks! We also noticed several ants in our top feeder today. What is the best way to deal with that?

Irregular comb

We just started our hives last weekend and, while it is mostly going great, we have noticed that our bees have built a strange-looking comb on one of the frames. They don't seem to mind, but we don't know what to do about it.
