Foundation
Hive frames are fitted with thin sheets of embossed wax called
foundation. Foundation for brood frames and extracted honey frames can
have embedded wires for extra strength. This prevents the comb from
sagging when the wax gets soft during hot weather or from tearing apart
during extraction.
At Jones Bee Company, we recommend that you use Duragilt
Foundation.
Duragilt Foundation is a plastic bonded, beeswax foundation
with metal edges. This foundation will save you labor. It is easy To
use, has metal edges which reinforce and strengthen the frames. Deep
Worker-Sized Cell Imprints Beeswax. Duragilt Foundation is bonded
to a plastic inner sheet. It is precision milled and has no additional
cross wires. Needed Communication Holes Can be used with either Wedge
Top Bar or Grooved Top Bar Frames.
We feel Duragilt is the finest foundation you can use at this
time. We do carry Three other varieties of foundation for those that
choose not to use this type of foundation.
