Small Cell - 4.9mm - Foundation

4.9mm foundation for varroa control. It is claimed varroa mites struggle to reproduce in the slightly smaller cell size, 4.9mm being close to the bees' natural cell width.

Premier grade only.  Foundation comes in packs of 10 sheets.

We have been milling foundation in our Lincolnshire wax plant for over 60 years.  We currently operate two large melting tanks, two ribboning and three embossing machines, plus countless other melting tanks for coloured beeswax sheets for candlemaking.

Our wiring department has a mix of automatic and manual wiring machines, run by skilled operators.  All sheets are packed and sealed to retain the freshness.
