I have only one frame of plasticell which I got with a NUC I purchased and it seems to be working out okay
However, yesterday I was at a new beekeepers house and they had purchased a kit that only had plasticell in it for the hive body and super frames.
We went to help them look at their hives yesterday and almost every single frame had wacky comb, that was sort of rolled over exposing the base plastic.
I'm wondering if they should have brushed melted wax onto the plasticell to help the comb to stick?
Anybody know about this product and how to use it or run into that issue?
It was a shame but the rolls were actually attached to the tops and bottoms of the frames as well as bulging out from them. We had to cut it all off, and there were bees hatching and larva all over the place. I think the new Beeks may have forgotten to check the box after they added the next super.
They called us because last Saturday they had a swarm about 40 feet up in their woods and wanted to know what to do. They had also brought home a baseball sized swarm remnant from their workplace and just put it in the used NUC box with some plasticell (not in frames) leaning against the wall. Hopefully today, they will get more frames put together.
