I have heard that a lot...about bees not liking plastic
foundation...eg..Plasticell.....But I have had no problem getting it drawn
as long as there's a good nectar flow and/or feeding....
 
Plus...Plasticell is good because after the combs get damaged or
whatever..you can just scrape off the comb..and let the bees start
over...:)
