Glad to hear that the extra space isn't a problem Lburou!  I was concerned the bees would fill that space with comb and make a heck of a mess.  Ted
Share that which you have an abundance of.  In doing so both the giver and receiver are enriched.

We do get some burr comb, but not much.  The bees usually just make extra deep cells on the outside.  :)
