hi all:
from the start , I began using frames with plastic foundation. after each season's honey harvest, I scrape off the drown wax to prevent wax moth during storage.
am I doing this right. i.e. I am wasting valuable bee recourses early in the season just to draw out the foundation that I scraped off and discarded at end of the season when they could be making honey.
how do you guys do it?
thanks
