Today I added my first honey super!!!
Not much to say?!?!
Well I know so now let’s debate about Plastic versus Wood hive pieces.
Personally, I prefer plastic.
Why?
1.It doesn’t mold.
2.It’s cold in the summer, yet the brood boxes are insulated for the winter.
3.It doesn’t warp.
4.It’s Cheaper.
5.It’s quite a bit lighter…
Today we switched my ordinary wood bottom board over to a screen bottom board. We did this in hopes that it will
1. Increase hive ventilation
2. Help to prevent any mites that might be coming into the hive.
On a completely different note, I have never seen a hive that angry. If you are going to switch to a screen bottom board, I’d recommend that you do it while your hive is extremely small.
