Hi mate, the plastic tube supplied with the Fframes has a tongue on it which clears the hole when inserted so clearing prior to harvest isn’t required. ---

Problem was more with the frames I didn’t harvest as they had the Honey in them as well. [Previous page](https://forum.honeyflow.com/t/should-i-add-another-brood-box-or-another-super-apparent-pre-swarm-behaviour/13307.md?page=1)
