    5 5/8" wax plastic foundation

    Posted by Tom C on Mar 17, 2026

    I've been using real wax foundation for years as a hobbyist Beekeeper, but when it comes to spinning you have to be very careful because too much weight and the comb breaks apart and you have more comb in the honey to sort out. These plastic frames handle a spinner no problem. Also, considering the time assembling the frames plastic is much faster.

    I like it’s strong construction and very waxy feel. Starting using them today, so the bees comments are pending.

    Great Foundation

    I have been using these Rite-Cell foundation for years. They are durable and waxed well. My bees don't waste time building on them and the foundation is more durable then some of the cheaper brands.
