Out hives. Ply or poly

[Davidwd]

I have the oportunity to put some hives on afriends farm, they will be out in the open so i am looking for the cheapest, most robust, most secure. I am currently using national 14 x 12

I have seen ply on solw@@@ bees website.
Poly on payn@@ website.

Is this the cheapest option as i dont want to spend too much as they will probavly get stolen.

Optimist eh?

If you site them well they will be fine.

But learn how to collect swarms properly and swarm control first or you won't make many friends with the neighbours....

The ply ones will be heavier and so less likely to be moved (borrowed?) or accidently knocked over by animals.
