DRONE - Plastic Beekeeping Foundation - Full Depth - Pink Color

DRONE Plastic Foundation – Full Depth – Pink

DRONE plastic foundation differs from ordinary foundation in that the cell size is larger (6.2mm). The distinctive pink color makes it easy to identify in the hive at a glance.

Please note this listing is for the plastic foundation only. Frames sold separately.

Common uses of frone foundation:

• Queen rearing operations and mating nucleus colonies
• Varroa mite management through drone brood trapping
• Maintaining genetic diversity in your apiary
• Easier honey extraction – when used in the honey supers the larger cells make spinning thick honey varieties like tupelo, buckwheat, or late-season goldenrod significantly easier (use a queen excluder to keep brood out of honey supers)

Why Plastic Foundation?

• Durable and resistant to hive tool damage
• Reusable season after season – more cost-effective long-term
• Wax moth and rodent-proof – safe storage at any temperature
• No blowouts during extraction
• No wire or eyelets needed – grooved edges fit snugly in standard full depth frames

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 16 3/4" W × 8 1/4" H (full depth frame size)
• Fits grooved top and bottom bars
• Frames NOT included

Waxing Options: Choose unwaxed to coat with your own rendered beeswax for a closed-loop system, or select pre-waxed for immediate use and faster colony acceptance. For best results, unwaxed foundation should be coated with a thin layer of melted beeswax before installation.
