all it needs is a good coating of wax to make it waterproof..... now where would you get wax from in a beehive? :)
Why, don't bees like mdf?
Don't the resins used release formaldehyde? They might not like that.
They'd propolise it maybe. They don't cover normal frames though entirely.
Looks easier than making frames though. I have tried with a jig to hold the bits in place to make sure they're square, but him indoors is much better at it than me.
Would be interesting to see them in an extractor.
It even says in the sheet about assembling them that it expands. If it sagged and broke whilst in the hive it'd be a mess!
