These plastic foundations are a strong and durable alternative to bees wax foundation. There are many benefits of using plastic foundation over the tradition wax including:

It is very durable and less likely to be damaged when scrapping with a hive tool
because it can be used over and over it is more cost effective
wax moth and mice can not destroy it
can be stored at any temperature
no blow out when extracting the honey
wire and eyelets are not neeeded as these foundations are designed to fit snuggly with a grooved top and bottom bar.

Overall dimension of the individual frame is W 42.4cm H 21.0cm. Cell size 5mm. These full depth foundation are designed to fit with a grooved top and bottom bar.

Note timber frames shown in images are NOT included.

For best results we recommend to coat with a thin layer of melted beeswax on the surface prior to putting them in the hive.

Plastic foundation wsp and full depth.

Hey guys thanks heaps.
Well priced for the quality of the plastic.
I like to use a fair bit of heat to really get the wax fused to the plastic rather than just sitting on top. These plastics didn’t bludge or buckle out of shape. The full depth fit different makes of frames perfectly with abit of wiggle room which is handy. Can’t fault them, they are abit thinner than some other brands but the bees draw them out lightning quick when the conditions are right. I loaded the full depth foundations with 36g of wax and they are performing just as good as wax foundation.
