I've been using a mixture of wooden and plastic frames in my supers (all with wax foundation) and the bees seem less inclined to build out and use the plastic ones. Anyone else had the same issue? Anyone using plastic frames successfully? We originally got them because we have a lot if OSR about and thought they'd be easier.
 
Haven't used plastic frames but I recall reading that you should only use one type when giving them a full box of foundation. If they have a mix of wood and plastic they will go for the wooden frames first.
