For those of you who use plastic foundation, which color of plastic foundation do you like best? Any reason why you prefer the color of your choice?
I prefer red or black for the same reason as HP.Which do the bees prefer? First you have to establish what light system the bees have in the hive to be able to see the color.I tend to think that inside the bee hive is as dark as a cave on a moonless night.

I have a lot of colors. I can see eggs MUCH better in white than black. The black is so dark in the cells that I can't see them once there are any cocoons in the cell. The bees can't see in the dark, so they don't care. You can see the color of honey better with white. If I had a choice (and I usually don't) I would pick white.
