Plastic foundations offer a strong and durable alternative to traditional beeswax foundation.
Benefits of using plastic foundation include:
High durability, reducing the chances of damage when scrapping with a hive tool.
Cost-effectiveness as it can be reused multiple times.
Resistance to wax moth and mice damage.
Suitable for storage at any temperature.
No blowout occurs during honey extraction.
Eliminates the need for wire and eyelets, as the foundations fit snugly with grooved top and bottom bars.
The individual frame dimensions are W 42.4cm x H 21.0cm, with a cell size of 5mm, designed to fit full-depth frames with grooved top and bottom bars.
For optimal results, it is recommended to coat the plastic foundations with a thin layer of melted beeswax before placing them in the hive.
