my mistake, I meant Carniolans. I forgot to mention this was down south in the Philippines. I guess it would still be the same answer though hahaha

The keepers down south keep a species of bee which is a cross between the carolian and italian bees. What kind is that? Is it alright to keep?

Should I get the ones with a coating of wax or not? Plus there's the task of assembling it with the frame, how do I go about that?

would an all plastic frame work fine? Do I need to have a layer of wax on it?

I'm going to be setting up a Langstroth hive in March and I wanted to know the advantages & disadvantages of frames with foundation versus the empty frames where the bees would...
