I have 5 hives. I have one hive that is 6 frames drawn wax, 3 of which were filled with honey and 4 frames new Peirco. I started with the 4 frames of P on the outside to give the girls all the room they needed to reproduce on the 6 wax. last week I checked and P frames weren't touched but bees were crowded on wax foundation. Last nite I checked again and the P-foundation was not touched, but bee population is exploding, but totally crowded onto the wax faoundation. I forget to mention last week I sprayed the plastic with a very light mist of water/sugar/Honey-b-Healthy.
I know bees have no love for plastic. Also a 2nd hive has mixed wax/plastic and they had no trouble drawing out and filling the plastic.
Bees are cowded and I want to put on a medium, but am afriad the deep plastic will get totally by-passed.:s
Suggestions?
