Lance,
The problem was NOT the plastic, race of bees, or all the other differences.
The reason for the MESS of cross comb, burr comb, oversize comb, etc., was
you tried to get 9 frames drawn rather than 10, and you violated "bee
space".
**********

Maybe you didn't notice that Lance said he had a division board feeder in
the hive with those 9 frames.  That would make it the same as having 10
frames and no bee space was violated.  (I've talked to Lance about this
one before--most people get it wrong because they forget about the feeder).
