I'm coming back into bees again after about 15+ years. I have a large amount of medium supers I used for honey supers which were wood and Duragilt foundation. I'm sure the wax moths and mice have taken their toll by now, even though I thought they were sealed good.
So my options for this winter are to clean-up these supers for next year and replacing the frames/foundation.
I can go back with the original set-up wood and Duragilt or I was considering the Dadant 6 1/8th EZ frames (plastic). I'd even consider warming them in an oven to apply an additional warm wax coating and using HBH when supering. I just wanted to check before spending the money on the wrong thing. What is the vote out there, has plastic pretty much done away with wood/wax foundation combination for honey supers? Again, I'm not talking brood chambers,but honey supers.
Thank you
