Level Hive, Level Comb

Keep hives level from side to side. 

It is better to have your bees construct their comb in a level hive rather than to have to correct it later. A slight slope from front to back is fine for drainage, but if you're not using foundation and the hive isn't level from side to side the bees will construct combs that are out of plumb. CombForms™ can be used to help correct these out of plumb combs - First level the hive before making the correction. Then gently press the comb into position in the frame. If the comb is loaded with honey and too heavy you may need to help support and anchor it in place with rubber bands. Place a CombForms™ on either side of the repaired frame.
