Product Details

Description

MAX WAX Rite-Cell® Premium Foundation has the maximum amount of wax that can be applied. That means your bees can draw the comb faster than ever before, giving them more time to make honey! All wax used on our foundation and frames is purchased from beekeepers right here in the US! Made in the USA.

✔ Prefered Choice - With nearly triple the amount of wax, bees will draw out quicker than any other foundation. Plus, our sheets are made of stronger and more durable food-grade plastic that holds up to many extracting seasons.

✔ Make Honey Faster - The textured cell interior features sharper cell edges for quick acceptance, so your bees can make honey faster. Plus it's impervious to damage from wax moths. 

✔ Textured Cells - Encourage bees to successfully draw out the foundation to raise brood and store nectar and pollen. Our cells are deeper and heavier than the competition. 

✔ High Quality Design - We glue AND staple our frames for durability! Our frames feature high precision cuts and an unparalleled fit and finish. Plus it's made to fit standard equipment and any uncappers - compatibility is a breeze. 

✔ Bees Love It - With sharper cell edges for quicker acceptance, bees love our Rite-Cell foundation and frames! Rite-Cell features deeper cells and higher definition. Upgrade to MAX-WAX for the heaviest coating available, which means your bees have more time to make honey. 

✔ Easy To Install - Snaps easily into groove top bar and bottom bar frame.

Use with 9⅝" (24.45 cm) Hive Bodies and (23.18 cm) 9⅛" Frames.

    MaxWax Foundation

    Posted by David Gragg on Jan 07, 2026

    Received my order and was confused by the packaging. These Max Wax foundations are boxed in the same boxes as the 8 1/2" Rite Cell Wax Coated Foundation. The only difference is that the box is labelled with the FN-701 label. I thought at first that the wrong product was labelled and shipped. I called Customer Service and they told me that they use the same box for both products. Looking at the individual pieces of foundation and comparing the regular Rite Cell and the Max Wax ...they look the same. Looking at 10 of the foundation sheets of each compared against each other the Max Wax does appear to be very slightly thicker. I thought I would give these a try and will re-evaluate after use. I did mention to Customer Service that if they are going to use the same box they really need to slap a label on the box to indicate that they are , in fact, Max Wax to avoid confusion. I like the Rote Cell waxed and hope to see if the Max Wax are an improvement. I will check back and re-evaluate this next spring. Thanks to Customer Service for their explanation.

    Great foundation. I’ve been using it for several years and the bees seem to build comb on it faster. It’s a little higher price but well worth it
