Full Depth Manuka Special Comb Foundation

Full Depth Manuka Special Comb Foundation

This Extra strength comb foundation is produced mainly for Manuka honey production but is also excellent for honey or brood.  The extra wax in the midrib is partly used by the bees to draw out the cells.  Because bees use nectar to produce beeswax, the extra wax in the comb foundation means that they will store more nectar and increase your profits.

Manuka Special is designed to be used with grooved bottom and top bars.  This allows the bees to attach the comb as strongly at the bottom as the top and sides. 

Also, due to its extra strength, thickness and firm attachement to the bottom bar, experience has shown that Manuka Special comb foundation withstands the pricking and extraction process well.
