The plastic frames will bend in heat, and will be very tricky to use after a couple years of use. The experience with machine "decaping" is not good after the bending, as that step needs to be done manually (ok, if small bee farm). It is also much trickier to clean as it can't be heated as much as wood and it is not resilient against chemicals (like wood). When disposing plastic it should not be burned. There are other issues also, that's why I don't use them.
Interesting experiment wuth the colloidal silver. Please keep us informed on how well that works. Quick question; I've been seeing all the vids on excluders and I've never used one. Do you use one and how well do they work? Thanks for the info and good vid!
damit I was hopeing you would say yes so you could send me money for the paint... The reason most people uset to paint the hive white was white reflected sunlight keeping the inside of the hive cooler and so they could be easily seen
hey man love the vid, i am in ny and i have a big varroa mite problem, the powerded sugar method isn't helping much, they are barely making it thru the winter
Tanks for doing this vid! i was wondering how are your bees doing?
i am using foundationless frames but the supper cells look like a great idea. my next hive i will try this.

Most hives are assembled with 10D out door nails. You could also use 1 1/2" roofing nails in a gun. I use 1 1/4 deck screws.

cant wait to see the results of the silver and the honey!
odin422 2 years ago
It is not silver and honey... just spraying the wood inside the hive to cut down on bacteria and virus

Farmers in my area are having a problem with people stealing their Bee Hives.
