Plastic semi-built foundations with cells size 4.9 mm for direct downsizing /for Langstroth frames - 230 mm/

 PROTECTED PRODUCT!

For direct downsizing               No wax covering needed

 Made of plastics certified for food contact use, corresponding the regulations.

 Usage of these plastic foundations increases honey production.

 What are plastic foundations like? The plastic foundations have built bee cells high 3-3,5 mm.

 In comparison to wax foundations  Plastic foundations are preferred in modern bee keeping. Attaching it to the wooden frame is quick and easy-no drilling, no wiring and sticking. Just snap it in place, it will not sag or bend. If you desire to destroy some comb on it, for example drone comb, and just scrape it off with a hive tool and give back to the bees and they will rebuild it in worker comb. The bees start immediately gathering honey as the walls of the cells are semi-built. The production of honey increases, because is reduced the production of wax necessary for building the comb. The bees require ~8 kg of honey to produce one kg of wax. These kinds of foundations are manifold used. Wax moth cannot damage plastic foundations and chemical substances do not precipitate in them. 

 Peculiarities of using plastic foundations -If there is not enough nectar flow, the foundations have to be sprayed with sugar syrup. It is not necessary to glue both parts of the foundations.

 If for a certain reason the comb is totally damaged or the wax is already old, the wax can be removed. As at low temperatures wax becomes brittle, it can be easily removed with plastic spatula.
