PLASTIC FRAMES, Beekeeping Beehive plastic frame compared to wood with plastic foundation

PLASTIC FRAMES???

Beekeeping Honeybee Hives Plastic Wood Comparison  
 
Yes, but only 2 or 3 per box. NO more or to much burr comb between boxes.
15% more cell space is nice for brood chamber extra cells
MUST be placed during strong honey flow,the same as plastic foundation.
YES the bees like bees wax better,
BUT for moving or extracting plastic HOLDS up better,longer
I don't use a lot of plastic frames but MOSTLY wood/plastic foundation

I Highly like the BLACK Plastic for Brood Frames to see the white eggs easier

WHITE Plastic for Honey Frames to be able to see thru for Honey color

Beeswax for quick brood drawing
Plastic for long term honey extraction
