One or two of my hives are past their best, would it be alright to change the old wooden hives for poly-hives at this time of year? Moving the brood frames and the super frames to the new hive, obviously keeping the hive in the same place. Any advice please? Many thanks.
Sounds fine to me but I can't comment on the best make of plastic hive. That could be a whole new topic.
All I will say is that while wood looks better, is more durable and lasts longer, it can't beat plastic on cost. The other advantage of poly hives is their insulation.
