HBS Foundation Sheets – Pure Australian Beeswax
Give your bees a reliable starting point for drawing comb with HBS Pure Australian Beeswax Foundation. Manufactured at our wax plant in Western Sydney, these foundation sheets are made from 100% stringently sourced Australian beeswax and designed for use in standard beehive frames.
The embossed wax pattern provides bees with an organised base for building comb. Therefore, it is a practical choice when assembling new frames, replacing old foundation or preparing additional equipment before the active beekeeping season.
Furthermore, HBS foundation is milled at approximately 12–14 sheets per kilogram. This creates a substantial wax sheet that is convenient to handle during frame assembly and installation. Once correctly fitted into the frame, the foundation supports consistent comb construction throughout the hive.
