Description
Some believe that the 4.9 mm cell impedes the Varroa Mite's ability to reproduce and that it helps to breed a more mite resistant bee. Scientifically, these claims have yet to be confirmed. Let us know how it works for you! Most bees will need to be introduced to this foundation gradually. For the best results use a wedged top bar and split bottom bar. Made in the USA.

We have been using this in bulk for many years, it fits the slotted bottom bar frames perfectly and we've had very little issues with the wax.
