Plastic National Deep Foundation Black

Black plastic deep brood foundation used in National Hive Brood Chambers

• Durability and Strength – Plastic foundation does not deteriorate over time meaning it can be re-used much longer than natural wax. It is also lightweight, more rigid, resists sagging, warping and damage from wax moths.
• Pest Resistance – Plastic foundation resists pests like wax moths better than natural pure wax.
• Cost-Effective – While initial cost is slightly higher, the reusability of the plastic foundation can lead to a lower spend over the long term. 
• Easier Inspections – Black plastic foundation provides a high contrast background that makes spotting white eggs and young larvae significantly easier during hive inspections.
• Easy to Clean: Damaged or old comb can be scraped off and the plastic foundation cleaned (e.g., with a pressure washer) and re-waxed for reuse, making it cost-effective over time.
