Our plastic foundation for ideal frames is a strong, practical alternative to traditional wax foundation. Designed to suit ideal or “half-depth” frames, these yellow foundation sheets are easy to use, long-lasting and built to handle Australian conditions.

Plastic foundation has several key advantages. It won’t slump or melt in hot weather, it’s durable enough to reuse for multiple seasons, and it won’t blow out in your extractor. The foundation simply snaps into place in double-groove frames, and the corner tabs can be broken away to give your bees more room to move through the hive.

For best results, we recommend coating the plastic foundation with a thin layer of beeswax before offering it to your bees. This helps them draw comb faster and more evenly.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, cost-effective option that holds up under high temperatures and heavy use, this foundation is an excellent choice for your ideal frames.

Buying from Happy Bee means supporting an Australian-owned business that values quality products, quick delivery and reliable service. We ship orders promptly from our warehouse so you can keep your beekeeping running smoothly.
