Product Overview

Lappe's Extreme Triple Wax Coated 9" Deep Plastic Foundation Sheets - Your Choice of Black or Yellow

Triple wax coated plastic foundation sheets have three times as heavy coating of wax which promotes a higher acceptance rate with bees compared to other standard wax coated plastic foundation. We have made these to be the best wax coated foundation sheets in the industry! They have a strong scent, which also helps acceptance. Plastic foundation sheets easily snap into a 9-1/8" grooved top bar frame, to be used in 9-5/8" deep brood boxes for the bee hive. They are impervious to wax moth damage, and the food grade plastic is durable and will withstand years of extracting. Foundation sheets work with manual and automatic uncapping equipment.

Please note: The difference in colors has nothing to do with the bees acceptance; it all has to do with the preference of each beekeeper. The black foundation makes it easy to find out if your queen is alive and laying well: it is easy to see the small white eggs against the black background, so you don't have to see your queen to know that you have one. It also makes it easier to tell if you have a drone layer. Yellow foundation is more like actual beeswax.

Unlike standard single waxed foundation sold on the market today, these foundations have the extra coating of wax that your bees need, so you don't have to add any, saving you time, money and effort! Super simple to use - just take out of the box, snap into your existing frames (or build into your brand new frames!), and add them to your hive. Plus, there's no mess to clean up from having to do your own waxing!

~ Fits 9-1/8" wooden frames for 9-5/8" deep brood boxes ~

    Triple waxed foundations

    I really like the triple waxed foundations. Foundation from other suppliers had to be waxed before I would use them, eventhough they claimed to be double waxed.

    The pierco triple waxed foundations from Lappe’s look just like the ones I waxed. Lots of wax ready for the bees to use and they smell good.

    These plastic foundations are loaded with wax. Bees took to it right away and drew it fast. Will use again when we need more

    Perfect foundation

    Posted by Joseph Winebrenner Jr on Jun 23, 2023

    I was trained by a commercial guy who told me to never use plastic foundation. “The bees won’t pull it out” so I used the wax for many years and fought all the problems associated with wax foundation. Once I used these triple coated wax foundation from Lappes I will never go back. The bees love it. It is easy. Just melt a little of your left over wax from your honey. It’s a no brainer.
