There is a workshop on polystyrene hives

 

[masterBK]

With all the current debate about plastics and what it is doing to the environment should we now consider going back to using cedar grown sustainably ?

 

[Swarm]

Certainly a topic for debate, although the poly hives and nucs are produced to provide decades of service rather than a means to carry home items which are themselves wrapped in throw away plastic.

Plus when you burn polystyrene it turns into nothing..

 

[masterBK]

You mean "nothing" as in release of toxic styrene gas, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and carbon black.

 

[Beefriendly]

I and many others release benzene, formaldhyde, acrolein, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and many other toxic molecules into the atmosphere on a regular basis.

If you had to give up all the plastic things you had, one by one, based on the lifetime of the product , with the shortest first, then the poly hive would probably be the next to last to go beaten only by polystyrene underneath the concrete slab that supports your house.

I was messing about but as you mentioned air pollutants, any polystyrene i have ever burned is a speck in the ocean compared to what planes/cars and cargo ships to name a few spew out on a daily basis.

Perhaps you should go see a doctor if your digestive tract is giving you that much truble!
