I think you're going to need to fix them very soon. You really don't want the bees to get creative with the foundation if it isn't properly installed. You didn't mention how it was installed, but I'm guessing you didn't put any cross wiring and the foundation sagged out of the frames once it got a little warm (you'll never guess how I know this :)). You can take the frames out one at a time and cross wire them or put foundation support clips on. https://baileybeesupply.com/product/support-pins/ I used the support clips to fix mine. They seem to be working nicely and are much easier to install. They are a little more expensive though. ______ Walter You never can tell with bees. ~ Winnie-the-Pooh
