We opened up the hive. The comb was curved and overlapping across the top bars so they could not be separated. The layer of comb furthest out from the nucleus was partly empty and Jenny trimmed it with a bread knife to even the side up.
We placed one of our new straight starter top bars against the edge and left some bits that still had honey in them on the floor of the hive for the bees to hopefully retrieve and store in a nice straight new layer of comb.
