Thin Super 3/4D Beeswax Foundation (TS 3/4D) - per sheet

Ceracell 3/4 Depth Foundation – Ideal for Comb Honey Production

Our 3/4 depth foundation is the perfect choice for beekeepers looking to produce high-quality comb honey. This foundation is designed to create honeycomb with minimal wax, making it easier to eat and less chewy compared to other types. Additionally, the foundation is bleached to ensure your honey's unique colors are beautifully showcased and matches the nearly white capping wax used by the bees.

Key Features:

• Perfect for Comb Honey Production: With minimal wax for a given surface area, this foundation is ideal for producing comb honey that is smooth, easy to eat, and naturally appealing.

• Bleached for Visual Appeal: The bleached foundation highlights the natural colors of your honey, providing a clean, professional look that enhances its visual appeal.

• Optimal for 3/4 Depth Frames: This foundation fits perfectly into 3/4 depth wooden Hoffman standard frames, making it an excellent choice for beekeepers who want to produce high-quality comb honey efficiently.

• Wire-Free Setup: When using this foundation, it's best not to wire your frames. You can "fix" the foundation in the groove of the top bar with melted beeswax, allowing the bees to build comb naturally and efficiently.

• DIY with Starter Strips: Another method is to cut the foundation into long 20mm wide strips and fix just the narrow strip in the frame groove. The bees will typically use this starter strip to fill the frame with beautiful comb honey, which is an easy, hands-off way to achieve perfect honeycomb.

Tips for Successful Comb Honey Production:

• Avoid wiring the frames for a more natural comb-building process.

• Using the 3/4 depth frame ensures the bees are more likely to produce undistorted comb, compared to using full-depth frames.

• Try to get the bees to fill the frames on their own using starter strips, which often results in beautifully crafted honeycomb.

If you're aiming to produce high-quality comb honey, Ceracell's 3/4 depth foundation is the perfect tool to help you achieve stunning results.
