Project Description
Unwired Beeswax Foundation Sheets
Our foundation is of the highest quality and has perfectly milled cells with deep and exact walls. We believe that pure beeswax foundation is best for the bees as it closest resembles what they build themselves in the wild.
It comes completely unwired with no additional support. We highly recommend to add both horizontal and vertical wires in order to provide the extra support. This is especially important for foundation that will be placed in the honey supers and that will be extracted as described above. Without this wiring, foundation could sag and bow once the bees fill the comb with brood or honey.
Shallow Honey Super size (4 3/4″ X 16 3/4″): Use with 5 5/8 Shallow Honey Supers and 5 3/8″ Frames
Medium Honey Super size (5 5/8″ X 16 3/4″): Use with 6 5/8 Medium Honey Supers and 6 1/4″ Frames
Deep Hive Body size (8 3/8″ X 16 3/4″): Use with 9 5/8″ Deep Hive Bodies and 9 1/8″ Frames
Pure beeswax can tend to absorb toxins, medication and pesticides from the hive over a period of time. We recommend to replace your beeswax foundation every 3 to 4 years to keep your hive healthy, happy and producing honey.
100% beeswax foundation sheets with vertical wires for added stability. The wire on the foundation “with hooks” extends past the top of the wax so it can be placed under the “wedge” piece of your frame to help hold it up. Best when used with a wedged top bar and split bottom bar. Beeswax is fragile in hot and cold temperatures, all beeswax foundation ships at the customers own risk for damage.
