I agree with Allen on basic principal.
Strong hives on a strong flow could care less about the very small amount of wax on plastic foundation these days.
Until you have observed unwaxed deep foundation fully drawn in a week on a strong Dakota honey flow
many a hobby beekeeper might base their opinion on what they see in their area.
Even those beekeepers with poor management skills can be succesful
In the best honey production areas.
Bees draw the best comb in my opinion when under pressure.
One might fight to produce perfect comb honey in areas without a strong flow but place a box with properly spaced comb in a box and the bees fill and always honor bee space on a strng flow with plenty of bees.
Poorly drawn comb usually happens when comb is drawn by feeding syrup or on a weak flow .
Strong hives and when the temps are 70 f. at night is the way to get comb drawn.
Many different ways to keep bees and get similar results.
What do you lurkers think?
