Plastic frames VS Wood frames
bbbthingmaker:
Wood is good. Plastic is a poor substitution for wood.
tefer2:
Wood frames here. I've thrown out all of plastic frames. Junk!
danno:
I prefer wood and plastic but why dont you buy some of each and decide for yourself. Say 20 wood frames with wedge top bars, 10 sheets of crimped wire wax, 10 sheets of plastic and 10 all plastic frames. Then mix them up in the hive. You will find that the bee's will preferr the wood and wax, then the wood and plastic and lastly the all plastic but none will go to waste. The bee's will work them all. I just prefer plastic over the wired wax because its way more durable
Also SHB will not be a issue in SD
edward:
Plastic is fantastic :-D
Wood burns real good :chop: :lau:
mvh Edward :-P
Thershey:
Naked and natural. - Wood frames, no foundation. They build comb faster than you can imagine and they build the cell size that is natural for them and their health.
