Each sheet is produced from a durable plastic that resists bending, ensuring a reliable base for the bees as they build comb. The natural beeswax coating offers a familiar surface many beekeepers associate with calmer colony management. The result is a foundation that supports steady colony development without the need for additional reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBeeswax Coating and Material Strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beeswax coating is natural and thin, providing a gentle texture that bees recognize. The underlying plastic is chosen for resilience, resisting deformation and breakage during handling, transport, and insertion into frames. In practice, this combination can help you manage frames with less warping after storage or transport, supporting cleaner comb formation over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural beeswax coating supports acceptance by bees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality plastic resists deformation and breakage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable design reduces the risk of springing when loading frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Medium Frames and Easy Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sheets are sized for 5-5\/8-inch medium frames and measure 16.65 inches in length and 5.51 inches in width.
