Response to plastic frames.
Waldemar asks,
3. Any problems with inserting 9 plastic frames still be inserted into
a hive body? (One post suggested there must be 10.)
I think that you need to start out with 10 frames of foundation so that
the bees will properly draw it out. The added space left by only having
9 frames may cause the bees to build bur comb that is perpendicular to
or
even inbetween the frames. Once the foundation is drawn out then you
can
cut back to 9 frames.
