I started out with the green drone frames, used them for about two years. They work fine, but I eventually ran out of space in my freezer. Plus the freezer routine requires more drone frames so you can rotate a second one into the hive while the first one freezes.
Two years ago I switched to the drone frame set-up that Randy Oliver wrote about in the beekeeping magazines. He took a regular deep frame and added a second frame bottom about 2 inches from the top of the frame. The bees draw the lower larger section of the frame in nice drone brood, while the upper part of the frame they mostly store honey in it and cap that. The truly cool part about this frame is that you take it out of the hive for inspection, and when the drone brood is mostly capped you simply cut it out with your hive tool and put the frame right back in. Takes about 30 seconds and you use the same frame right back in your hive. I also tried it with just a regular undivided frame (I was in a hurry and didn't have a "specially" constructed drone frame) and it worked just fine, just more drone comb to cut out each time. Towards the end of the summer the bees slow down with raising drone brood and they will just use that frame for honey storage, at which point I move it to the very outside position. Here is a link to Randy's website for more information

Oh, and I don't add any popsicle stick or any other guide to those frames. Just being between two drawn brood frames makes the bees draw it out just fine. I think you will like this method better than the green plastic drone frames. Good luck!
