Because all the other plastic foundations have comb pattern formed as part
of the plastic. The bees work this readily given a good flow even when the
wax is worn or scraped off (and even with the plastic sections from
bee-o-pack i'm happy to say). They won't draw a flat sheet of plastic (or
a flat sheet of wax for that matter.)
