Use of plastic frames:
      1) use all or none, don't mix with wood frames with wax foundation
      2) have a swarm during a good nector flow in your boxes so stocked
          (^ that is Hive - stupid fingers can't spell)
      3) shift outer frames to center as center are drawn out
      4) add additional boxes of new (undrawn) only during good nectar flow
      5) don't add too many extra boxes - keep em crowded until drawn out
6) when they don't finish a frame in a season, scrape the whole
         thing down and start it again in another season.  They don't
         seem to like to continue one of these plastic foundations.
 
Godd Luck !
