Hi, I am seeking a nuc and recently viewed 4 frames for sale from another keeper. As a beginner I'm quite keen to start as I mean to go on and do my best to keep things simple from the start . However, the frames hadn't been kept 'bee space' apart so the bees had naturally built into the gaps forming some bridges and uneven comb and capped brood with some frames being quite thick and not the flat levelled capped brood I'm used to seeing. I also spotted some queen cups dotted around.
How easy do people think this would be to rectify to make future inspections easier to manage and how would I introduce new frames and slowly dispense of the old ones?
Just to note my brood box is 14x12 and these are on standard frames.
Thanks!
