New Bee
I am about to start bee keeping and am just starting to set out my garden for next May can anybody tell me of any problems that I may have if I go for Polly hives instead of wood.

May I suggest Cillit Bang Bleach and Hygiene for cleaning Poly hives. Melts propolis, without damaging.
But wood is always my first choice. Lasts for as long as your beekeeping life, given good care.
Watch out for wax moth, they will perforate them.

Wax moth is a far greater worry with poly, they really can make a mess.
Always thought the Paynes ones were a real detritus trap. I put my boxes on wooden floors
Im a new bee keeper and I love the poly the only real annyoyence for me is it's a pain to modify and not all places sell the kit so you end up buying things from different supplier's which means more postage costs however, I'm happy with mine
