Hello All,

     The weather this past summer was the cause of the bees failing to draw
out the Ross Round Supers. I also had trouble getting them to draw out about
twenty percent of the Pierco frames that I put in My splits and packages.
This was the first time in five years that I had trouble getting bees to
draw it out. This was a bad year for honey too for some beekeepers, a
difference of five miles between beekeepers made a huge difference in how
much honey got extracted.
The plastic is no problem whatsoever as long as there is some fresh beeswax
on it, or wax foundation in the Ross Rounds.
Just wait 'till next year!!!! ( That's what We say every year about the Red
Sox too!)
