Fully drawn Comb available for sale.

It had to come...
Check out http://hexacells.com/product
They are producing a fully food grade compliant wax drawn combs, claiming it is similar to beeswax in construction and properties.
I can't find a price but an interesting product.
Initial thoughts are problems with purity of reclaimed beeswax as will be diluted with "their" wax so can see problems in that direction, but to be able to buy fully drawn comb....WOW!

They have even angled the cells I see, how long before someone put it in frame upside down.

As someone with not enough drawn comb, that turns my head. I would give it a go - trial it on a small nuc maybe and monitor their progress.

And Ste you're right - or if they cut it into a square for a mating nuc it could even be the rotated 90 degrees like I nearly did with my foundation last year

JP I think you're supposed to use starter strip in those boxes- you'll get three sections from an inch cut off a bs foundation sheet

I'd imagine this artificial stuff is waxmoth proof and stable when warm but the adulteration issue is a real concern

[Japey Edge]

Hi Alfred. I opted for cutting a square from super foundation and jamming it in the frames. It worked great when I got it the right way up

The wax building bees are going to have something to say about this. ' Flying pickets ' anyone..LOL

It would be interesting to try particularly 14x12 brood as this can slow things down when expanding colonies, there is no information on cost of the product or suppliers.

Hi All,
out of interest I thought I would get a price on this stuff in 14x12 brood size, here is the reply that I received, the price looks tempting to me but obviously not worth ordering for small quantities, They need an agent really.

Please quote for
50 x comb 282mm high x 335mm wide

Best Regards

Dear Steve,

Thank you for the information about the needed size.
If we'll produce the product at that size it will cost 3,8 EUR/piece. In the case of ordering full pallets or container the price is more beneficial. The shipping costs 70 EUR in the course of your quantity.
Please confirm your order and we'll send you the invoice.

Best Regards,
