Since we are on the subject of foundation....
I've used plastic foundation on all 4 hives. I'd like to slowly switch to all wax foundations, or at least maybe move away from plastic. But the time needed to properly install wax foundation with wire supports seem so time consuming. Are wires embedded in the wax necessary? Or only if planned to use an extruder when harvesting?
If I convert to wax foundation, then should this be done to the brood chamber as well, or leave it with plastic foundation?
I know these are loaded questions, but I haven't read much debate on this in my books. They just give instructions on how to use each, but not the pros and cons.
Best,
Derrick
