DON'T MAKE THIS BIG BEEKEEPING MISTAKE! Fixing Burr Comb / Cross Comb In A Beehive

I've done this more times than I would like to admit. I don't have enough frames on hand and tell myself "I'll go get more later." Then I forget and a week later I open the beehive and see a box full of burr comb. Burr comb is when bees fill up a space that's larger than the usual 3/8" bee space we leave in between frames. The result is honeycomb that is in different directions and connecting to other pieces of comb.

It's fascinating to see what the bees do when given a big empty space, but not fun for the beekeeper to fix. You have to fix it b/c you can't inspect the hive otherwise. Without frames in the box, the bees connect the comb to the lid and/or to the frames that the comb is sitting on.

Here's how I tackle this.
