REGARDING           Plastic frame usage
 
I have used a limited number of Pierco plastic frames for a number of years in
the honey supers, but never in the brood nest.  They worked well for me after
the first season, when the bees had to be coaxed into using them.  They are
very easy to uncap, either with knives, planes or automatic uncappers.  The
main drawback I see is that they are quite heavy compared with wood and
beeswax comb frames.  I would be willing to respond to any questions you might
have.
