I am looking for advice and opinions.I am going to be just a hobby Beek(less the 10 total hives over the next few years) and starting out this year. After reading and pondering over product catalogs what seems like the best investment: Plastic foundation frames or Wood foundation frames. My first hive most likely will be a long lang style constructed by myself. I like the top bar idea but don't want to be limited to non-lang style equipment. Top bars seem to be inexpensive to start due to the lack of foundation frames. So if i build a long lang style hive with foundation frames what are your thoughts about the pros and cons of plastic vs wood.
Have lot of both, wood is much nicer, sturdier, repairable, and less spots for SHB....... wood all the way. plastic only if its free. Plastic foundation is great, but not frames.
