I was talking with another beekeeper who brought up an intriguing point. Does the use of plastic frames, hives, etc have any effect on the bees secondary to offgassing of the plastics? I do not know much about the subject of plastic, Styrofoam and the like and the manner in which it puts of chemicals, gasses or otherwise degrades, but I thought I 'd see if any of you have considered this before and, if so, the conclusions drawn.
