> Asking them to draw out plastic hasn't been successful for me.    You need
a strong flow and a strong colony to successfully get plastic drawn out.

I (or more properly, my bees, or more properly, the bees that I keep)
successfully draw out several thousand off-the-shelf frames of waxed plastic
foundation every year.  No problem for me if I feed 1:1 sucrose in first
box.  All the rest are naturally drawn on good flows in the second brood
box.  On a good flow, 2nd box of foundation is drawn, filled, and capped in
10 days.
