Title: Plastic or Wood?
Post by: Bee Boy on June 04, 2004, 07:16:53 pm

I ordered a hive and they asked whether I wanted wood or plastic. Wood was out of stock and its going to take 4 or 5 weeks to get it. I could get plastic right away. I decided to wait for the wood. SO I was wondering is one better than the other? Do the bees prefer one to the other?

Sounds like either a queen excluder, or frames were the option of plastic?
