You are just into spring aren't you? Sometimes peirco and permacomb and
 others aren't always accepted or used rightly be the bees. I also contend
 that it effects the bees natural system for several potential reasons. Such
 as heat distribution and the thermal dynamic properties of plastic vs.
 natural wax. Are you finding that the bees initially chewed away the same
 sides of the frames? How did you face the hive in relation to the sun? Who
 knows, just mumbling.
