The plastic foundations come in the option of unwaxed or pre-waxed with beeswax. Save yourself time by buying the pre-waxed or select unwaxed if you prefer create a closed loop of wax within your hive by rendering and using your own beeswax on the foundation.

For best results the unwaxed plastic foundation should be coated with a thin layer of melted beeswax on the surface prior to putting them in the hive.
