Wax Foundation Sheet Tips:

Use the wax foundation sheets to guide the honeybees where they should build using the frame. Many beekeepers use the full foundation sheet in each brood frame. Personally, I prefer not to do so in the brood chamber as the wax comb needs to be serviced every 2-3 years anyway. Thus you loose the wax foundation each time you service the frame and remove the wax comb to allow the bees and especially the queen to lay in virgin wax comb.

We prefer to use the brood sheet and cut it into wax strips and place these onto the brood frame. The size is not important for me however a rough guide is 2cm up to the first wire.

Wax sheets require bubble wrap and newspaper packaging. The sheets weigh roughly 90g each however the volumetric weight is how the postal service charges this item.

Sometimes the wax sheets are seldom available due to the season and low supply of beeswax.
