    Best foundation on the market

    Posted by Blaine Nay on Jan 12, 2026

    The cells are deep and well-defined. The sheets are a lot stiffer than competitors and not subject to warping. I like that. Unlike other brands, Mann Lake applies a nice coat of wax which makes this foundation very acceptable to the bees. I never see the "wonky" comb that other beekeepers experience when using inferior foundation. The yellow makes a nicer-looking comb, but the black makes it a lot easier to see eggs and day-old larvae with these eyes that have 62 years of beekeeping experience. (Trivia and not part of this review: In the '60s, there was some wax-coated aluminum foundation on the market. It was fine to use, but the bees didn't seem to like it -- probably because aluminum conducts heat away from the brood. Mann Lake's plastic foundation is much better.)
