Agreed.  I've seen a good swarm draw a deep and medium super from
plastic foundation in two weeks (9 frames each) when fed with a pair of
those frame feeders.  They consumed about a half gallon a day for about
the first week.  They simply cannot get enough access to the syrup from
the overturned quart jar.

My experience has been that under the right conditions (warm and fed well)
they will happily build on plastic as well as wax.  Under the wrong conditions
they won't build on either (but they will chew holes in the wax).
