Attaching Wax Foundation with Bamboo Skewers

Wiring frames for Wax Foundation is a pain. Putting in the eyelets, wiring the frame, tensioning the wire and then connecting a battery to heat the wire and melt the wax onto the wire.

There is a better way - using bamboo skewers!

I prefer Wax Foundation and so do the Bees.

Bamboo Skewers allow you to cut out honeycomb, queen cells or clean up a frame with ease.

Bees will draw out Wax Foundation much easier than Plastic Foundation. Plastic Foundation needs to have a good coating of wax or there to be a good nectar flow for it to be drawn out.

Wax Foundation is better to use during Swarm Season.
