> Could you explain the implications of your post script?

I don't mean this to be a condescenbding reply, but because I can, I'm
jumping on the response.

Peter's post seemed pretty clear to me.  Stainless steel wire to wire
frames: first thing that struck me was, "Man, that'll be expensive; yet
another reason to go to plastic foundation."  The reasons behind stainless
steel wire is no impurities getting into the honey, as is the case with
oxides of wire currently used to wire foundation.  (Personal confession: I
have NEVER wired a frame of foundation in my beekeeping career, which spans
3 decades.)

> + removing the possibility of using paradiclorobenzene
No PDB to protect against wax moth, and no PDB to contaminate combs.

The point of Peter's post, and the intent of the movements behind Peter's
post is to force beekeepers to get off the chemical merry go around (I guess
I will ALWAYS miss Andy) and to put the PURE back in "Pure Honey".

Aaron Morris - I think, therefore I bee!
