Product Overview
Triple Wax Coated 9" Deep Plastic Foundation Sheets - Pierco
Triple wax coated plastic foundation sheets have three times as heavy coating of wax which promotes a higher acceptance rate with bees compared to other standard wax coated plastic foundation. We have found these to be the best wax coated foundation sheets in the industry! They have a strong scent of wax, which also helps acceptance. Plastic foundation sheets easily snap into a 9-1/8" grooved top bar frame, to be used in 9-5/8" deep brood boxes for the bee hive. They are impervious to wax moth damage, and the food grade plastic is durable and will withstand years of extracting. Foundation sheets work with manual and automatic uncapping equipment. These sheets have a uniform 5.2mm cell depth size for increased production.
Please note: The difference in colors has nothing to do with the bees acceptance; it all has to do with the preference of each beekeeper. The black foundation makes it easy to find out if your queen is alive and laying well: it is easy to see the small white eggs against the black background, so you don't have to see your queen to know that you have one. It also makes it easier to tell if you have a drone layer. Yellow foundation is more like actual beeswax.
