Hello Kevin. I am really looking forward to your follow up poly episode. I am considering year round hives in the Paradise Bee Box 6 frames, but I prefer medium size for their weight. One issue with these poly boxes in medium is that they do not have the bottom plastic profile. I have contacted Paradise and they have no plans to add them at this time but said they would pass my request on to the design team.

I hear more and more people considering poly hives and it is one of the reasons why I decided to do more work with them. I did not notice about the lack of the plastic guard on the medium until you mentioned it here so thanks for sharing that. It is an odd choice, I would speculate that perhaps there was some some engineering limitation as it seems an odd choice. Glad you put in the request and perhaps they will consider the feedback.
Cheers, and thanks for checking in. If you do go the poly route, check back in on how it is going.
