Product description
Durable construction: Each foundation sheet is molded from selected plastic designed to resist warping and cracking, reducing the chance of deformation during use or transport.
Beeswax surface: Every sheet arrives with a beeswax coating to create a familiar, attractive surface for bees and to speed comb acceptance and construction in the hive.
Standard deep size: Individual sheets measure 16.65 inches long by 8.26 inches wide, matching standard deep hive frames and ready to be trimmed or fitted as needed.
Simple installation: These beewaxed sheets slide into the top-groove of a deep frame and can be used without additional reinforcement, making frame preparation quick and straightforward.
Quantity included: The package contains 10 waxed foundation sheets, providing ample replacements or new foundations for multiple deep frames.

Works well, durable
Solid, basic foundation. The wax is mostly a scent rather than a heavy layer; you may want to add more wax yourself, which many beekeepers do.
