I have been keeping bees for roughly fifteen years and have tried quite a few options. Related to frames, I currently have a mix of pierco frames, some wood fames with wired foundation and some wood frames with duragilt. I have read through many posts here looking to see if there is one option that has a stronger leaning with regard to frame makeup. I dont see "one" strong option but I do see many passionate opinions. If it works, as it does with my malange of items, then keep up the good work. If it isn't working, find out why, quickly, and resolve it to another method. The newest options are not always the best or most thought out either. And remember the addage, before tearing down a fence that has been in place for years, take your time and investigate why it is there from that previous perspective because, you might find out that your perspective, was perhaps short sighted in the end.
