Listened to a podcast from Kiwimana (#84) - an interesting discussion with Victor Conker at Australian Honey Company concerning their business case for polystyrene hives. They use the Paradise Honey Bee Box, mfgr in Finland, apparently offered in US by BluSky. Anyone know of other large scale side-by-side comparisons? I have seen the multiple Bee-L posts on BeeMax and Swienty boxes but would like some real data.
