I started putting MannLakes standard plastic frames in my hives. I hate messing with foundation and these are known to make nearly 100% worker comb. At first the bees were drawing it out scattered and trying to bridge the comb into the next frame creating a burr mess, and they were slow at that, even though I'm feeding. Every couple of days I was trying to scrape this bridge comb to prevent a bigger mess. MannLake says they coat these frames with wax, but appear to be very light with it. I wasn't satisfied:
So I melted some of my own wax and brushed the melted wax onto the frames. A few strokes. A day and a half later I see frames like this(sorry about the bees in the way):
Much more uniform and being drawn out quicker. This wasn't meant to be a product review, just my observations. I searched a while on the subject before installing these frames and couldn't get a straight answer. A lot of people chalk this bridge comb on plastic frames to incorrect spacing but I think its mainly that lack of wax coating on plastic. Its still early spring so I'm interested to see how this goes.
