Beeswax foundation is the classic favourite for using in hives. Many beekeepers consider it to be the best for the bee. This is hardly surprising considering it is the bees own manufacture! Bees use beeswax to form the comb where they store their honey. This amazing substance must be the all-time best sealer. In it's pure form, it doesn't deteriorate with age. Hive World stocks top quality New Zealand beeswax in 2 grades:
- Thin (suitable for comb honey)
- Medium (the good all rounder)

Frame Wire Stainless Steel 500g
$13.00
Hive World stocks 500g rolls of Stainless Steel Frame Wire used for wiring your wooden frames ready for wax foundation.
Wooden frames should always be wired horizontally to provide a strong framework for brood or extracting frames in which wax foundation is to be used. We suggest you use our brass frame rivets to protect the wood from gouging when wiring up your frames. Our crimp tools will tighten the wire as good as new so you can re-use your wired frames again and again.
