Beekeeper's Dream?
I bought 2 frames to start with to check out the quality and was so impressed that I immediately reordered 2 more. The mechanism works smoothly and meets visual inspection. The bees appear to have accepted the plastic foundation and pre-drawn cells right away and are busy filling with honey days after installation. Final evaluation of this product will have to wait on going thru a harvest cycle or two. If that works out, I would give it 5 stars. This product may work well for the backyard beekeeper(like me) with one or two hives but I would not consider it useful/economical for commercial scale honey production. My opinion. Right now I am mulling over how to manage these frames during the winter. I think they will have to be removed from the hive and stored to avoid possibility of over-winter damage.
