Since introduction approximately 20 years ago beekeepers plastic foundation has remained unchanged. New ventilated type now available.
Now we introduce plastic injection molded plastic foundation where the hexagons are hollow, totally see through.
This has been field tested in China, Korea and Australia and has been a great success. Proven to out perform solid plastic foundation and bees wax foundation.
Results so far have shown that the ventilated ( hollow ) hexagons allow bees to communicate on both sides ( Bees communicate by doing a waggle dance ) and they draw comb faster than the conventional plastic type. The result is faster honey production. Bees communicate by doing a waggle dance. Makes sense doesn’t it ??
