How to Add Wax to Plastic Foundation

Adding extra beeswax to plastic foundation will encourage bees to rapidly draw out frames. It's easy to add extra wax to the plastic foundation, and it will jump start your colony growth.

I use a crock pot bag liner on my crock pot before I melt it. And when I’m done waxing frames, I just lift the bag out of the crock pot, it hardens in the bag. Then when I need it again, just put the bag back into the crock pot and reheat it. 👍

I wax the fundations directly with cold wax not melted...just like if it was surf board wax....

Are you concerned about contaminating your hive with bouten wax

[@aquanaut...]

Do you need to freeze the wax before you melt it?

[@Charlie-Bee]

Wax is already "frozen". Think about it 🤔
