Wax Foundation Sheet IDEAL

Foundation wax sheets are used in beekeeping to help give the bees a boost and head start in production.
Sheets are moulded in a hexagon pattern and embedded into the frame to prevent breakage, as well as keeping the sheet secure.
This then provides a surface for the bees to start building from, they then can begin producing honey or brood.

EMBEDDING WAX TO FRAME:
Use an embedding tool that is heated.
Run tool across the wire to heat.
The wire should then melt the wax onto the wire.
Do this to all wires on frame.
The wax has now been embedded onto the frame.

STOARGE AND CARE:

Over 30⁰C this product can become very soft and pliable.
