Plastic hives

[Matthias Smith]

Does any one know if any supply companies sell plastic hives and supers? Do they work well? Thanks!

Walter T. Kelly has some plastic inner covers and I think telescopics and bottom boards. Betterbee has the dense styrofoam "Bee Max" hvies. I think Dadant has "Bee Max" also. Western Bee supply is closing out all of their plastic stuff.

I have inherited a couple of plastic covers and inner covers. They seem ok. I've never had anything else plastic except foundation (which I like) and division board feeders (which I don't like).
