You may want to consider treating your woodware before assembly, or after. For internal frames it may be satisfactory to treat with copper naphthenate just the frame lugs (or ears). We have available for sale copper naphthenate. And of course we now have the fantastic totally chemical free wood preservatives WB1 and WB2 from Gripset.

The wood frame with plastic foundation combines the advantages of both wood frames and plastic frames. Some beekeepers prefer the stiffness of the wooden frame when working their hives, but want the superior durability of the plastic foundation. This option provides for that. Note, you will want to ensure the plastic foundation is coated with a thin layer of beeswax. You can do that yourself or purchase plastic wax coated foundation from Ceracell.
