Thomas Apiculture Deep Unwired BS National Beeswax Wax Foundation - Pack of 20
Embossed Beeswax Wax Foundation - Unwired Deep Foundation
Large Pack of 20 Sheets
To fit a National Deep Sized Frame
The Beeswax sheets are made in France. Thomas Apiculture is a world leading manufacturer of beekeeping equipment and this foundation is manufactured in house by them for Gwenyn Gruffydd.
The wax is purified, sterilised and embossed in the Thomas Apiculture workshop in Fay-aux-Loges and it is obtained by casting a different manufacturing process.
This wax is by nature more brittle and needs to be handled with care but the bees will work this type of wax 80% faster over 4 days compared to standard wax by lamination.
These foundation sheets are extremely popular with bee farmers in France. They are perfect for cut comb honey.
We recommend that you store it in a room at room temperature (20 - 25°C) the day before it is used.
In the light, it is normal for natural wax to whiten over time.
Precautions for use
Handle with care. Store in a dry place at room temperature away from frost and direct light.
I found this foundation easy to handle not a problem installing in the new & used frames. Really nice looking cell's they look better defined than the wired/rolled foundation. Very cost effective, The ony concern I have will be at harvest time, (will have to go steady on the extracter)
Excellent foundation by Team Gruff bees love the foundation
Used this in supers last year and came back for more for this year for new hives. The bees are quick on this to get on this and start drawing out. It smells amazing! Thanks Gruff. 👍
Great value and because it is unwired it is more versatile than wired foundation - can be used whole, or just in part to encourage the bees to build their own comb.
I'm so glad I purchased this foundation,I thought I would try it after watching gruffs video abou it . The bees love it and it smells amazing too. I would definitely recommend it.
