I bought some all plastic frames/foundation this spring to try. We didn't
have a very strong flow this year. Even though, of 300 hive bodies, 150 or
so were drawn out pretty well. Waxed may be a little better, but where the
yard had a good honeyflow, it didn't seem to matter. Some things I don't
like: The top bar is awfully thin and bendy. Kind of hard to get that first
frame out. Also, they're loud going through the uncapper.
