[QUOTE="Wknz, post: 310, member: 175"] Hi all. I've tried plastic frames for the first time in a hive. I'm finding the bees glue them to the top cover and between boxes more than they seem to with wood frames. The out come is taking the cover off or moving a box is much harder. I crack the edges but lifting or twisting the box / cover pulls up a frame or two ... really annoying the bees. Have I got a special needs hive or is this normal with plastic frames? I've also noted my hive doctor bases seem to have more bottom edge comb too. [/QUOTE]
