I don't agree. We have Pierco in almost all of our honey supers and we
really like them. We run around 850-900 hives for honey and super two or
three times. In our uncapping system, Cowen, they handle nicely. We throw
out may be 20 every season, compared to 80 wooden ones out of about 700
boxes with wooden frames left after. For the brood frames, once they are
built, the queen lays from top to bottom and side to side.
