Hi Aaron & all

Not in agreement here... I have not tried it with round section plastic
frames, but I have used hanging section frames (of the square British type).
To be honest I cannot remember ever using just one single one in a super,
but groups of two, three, four or five have been regularly used. A strong
flow helps, but is not essential.

Tinplate dividers keep the faces of the comb flat, but the bees will work
the sections with or without dividers.
