Relating to the question posed by Daiell:

How do you treat all plastic frames?

Their use has been advocated many many times.
They appear to have many advantages when compared with "traditional" frames.
But what I would like to get an indication on (and have asked several times - with no resulting
correspondence), is what happens to them when they have to be withdrawn from service?

Are we as a collective just ignoring this?

The same question may  be posed about the plastic strips placed in the hives - where do they end up?

Are they dumped next to the beer bottles in the bushes in the apiaries!

Wondering never ceases,
Peter
