Plastic Foundations (Unwaxed)
Stronger starts. Faster growth. Less hassle.
When we engineered the Primal Bee Hive, every component was designed to work in harmony with bee biology. Our proprietary click-in plastic foundations are no exception. Built specifically for Primal Bee’s oversized frames, they eliminate the wiring headaches of wax sheets and give your bees a stable, reliable base to build from. Foundations ship unwaxed, allowing you to prepare and customize the beeswax coating exactly how prefer.

Why Plastic Foundations?
Why Plastic Foundations?
Traditional beeswax sheets require cutting, wiring, and fitting, which takes at least 10 minutes of work per frame. This results in 2.5–3 sheets being needed just to fill a single Primal Bee frame.
Primal Bee plastic foundations remove that bottleneck:
- Click the foundation into the frame.
- Roll on a thin layer of melted beeswax.
- Click into Primal Bee frames! Ready for bees to draw comb.
Total time: minutes, not hours. Because the foundations arrive unwaxed, applying your own light beeswax coat ensures quick acceptance and even comb building.

Traditional Option Still Available
Traditional Option Still Available
Prefer wax-only? You can still wire in sheets yourself. Each Primal Bee frame takes 2.5–3 standard wax foundations. This option works, but requires more material and more time.
