I checked the archives and there isn't much there. Nothing really on cedar
frames, and some comment about different areas, such as Scotland and
England, that use hives made of cedar, along with a speculation about whether
honey from cedar frames would taste of cedar.
Any thoughts'?
Here in the UK all the best (and most expensive!) hives are made of cedar.
They last about as long as their owners and so are a good investment. I
have some cedar equipment that I know was made about the year I was born
(1948). Our frames are usually made of cheapo pine. The honey isn't affected.
