Hi.
 I added a medium super a month ago to a 10 frame deep that started as a nuc this year. Lots of bees and they seem happy. However much of the new comb in the super is being build between the frames, i.e. connecting them. This is my first experience with plastic foundation. Is that a contributing factor? Other causes? 
 
Any recommendations on how to discourage this? Will 9 frame spacing help? 
Thanks.
