All of our wax foundation is 100% Australian beeswax and milled here at Beekeeping Supplies Australia. This foundation fits to the Manley size frame only.

Foundation wax sheets are used in beekeeping to help give the bees a boost and head start in production.
Sheets are moulded in a hexagon pattern and embedded into the frame to prevent breakage, as well as keeping the sheet secure.
This then provides a surface for the bees to start building from, they then can begin producing honey or brood.

MILLING:

Here at Beekeeping Supplies Australia we are always looking to purchase 100% Australian pure beeswax from hobbyists or commercial beekeepers.

We buy wax for $9.00/kg + GST ($9.90)
We trade wax for foundation sheets, weight to weight and only pay $0.70 per sheet for milling.
We do not mill wax per order. We will automatically swap from what is available from the shelf that day.
This is by far the cheapest and best way to purchase wax sheets.

Please ensure the wax is clean as possible and a golden-yellow colour.
Example of wax we accept:

We do not take dirty, brood comb or brown-chocolate coloured wax.

EMBEDDING WAX TO FRAME:
