Spur Wheel Embedder 

Prepare your own wired hive frames with the Spur Wheel Embedder from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

This manual beekeeping tool provides a simple way to secure beeswax foundation to frame wire without using an electric embedder. Its brass spur wheel features an indentation that gently moulds the wax around the wire, helping to hold the foundation in place.

The wheel head screws securely onto the shaft, providing a firm connection during frame preparation.

For beekeepers who assemble their own frames or replace old foundation, the Spur Wheel Embedder offers a straightforward method of installing beeswax foundation.

Brass Spur Wheel for Foundation Embedding

The embedder features a brass spur wheel with an indentation designed to press beeswax foundation around the frame wire.

As the wheel moves along the wire, it gently moulds the surrounding wax into position.

This helps secure the foundation to the wire during frame preparation.

The brass construction provides a durable working surface, while the indentation helps guide the wheel along the wire as the foundation is embedded.

Simple Manual Operation

The Spur Wheel Embedder works particularly well when the wheel is dipped in hot water before use.

Warming the wheel helps it work with the beeswax foundation as you move it along the frame wire.

To embed foundation, position the wax sheet inside the wired frame and run the warmed spur wheel along the wire, applying gentle pressure.

Repeat the process along the remaining wires until the foundation is secured.

This manual method is suitable for beekeepers who prefer a straightforward frame preparation tool without electrical equipment.

Secure Screw-On Wheel Head

The embedder features a spur wheel head that screws securely onto the shaft.

This construction keeps the wheel connected to the tool while it is being used for foundation embedding.

The brass wheel and screw-on head provide a practical design for beekeepers who prepare their own wired frames.
