It is wise to replace beeswax foundation every year or two to reduce the likelihood of diseases in the bee colony. The wax does not go to waste as you can melt it down and reuse for new foundation sheets or for many other craft projects such as candle making, cosmetics and so on.

Short and to the point and useful. Thankfully!
Excellent resource thank you.
Located Victoria Australia.
Thanks for showing us this fantastic method for setting wax into the frames
+Matthieu Campbell A pleasure. Hope it works for you if you are planning to build some honey frames yourself.Happy beekeeping! www.mahakobees.com/store.html
Just started beekeeping and found your videos Very helpful ! Instead of buying a costly embeder I can use what I have already in my workshop Thanks for you great work!!
+TheNastyBastard Hi. Happy you found our beekeeping instructional video helpful. Happy beekeeping! www.mahakobees.com/store.html
I was wondering how to do that. Thank you for the information. God Bless!
Thank you so much, great job
Great tip, mate. Thanks for that.Ended up just using jump leads from my car.
Genius.
Sorry I know your post was 12 months ago, however just be careful Evo, you could damage electronic components in your car by shorting it like that.
It would be best to do it with the battery disconnected or use a 12v power pack or charger.

Good work.
A fantastic video
Love this video
Great video. I usually do one wire at a time but I might give your method a go. Thanks for sharing :)
The Productive Garden Great to hear this has assisted a fellow bee keeper. Let us know how you go!
I will be making some frames soone so I will let you know.
Pretty good
Curious to know if it would make it stronger to spin, if the wax sheet was woven in and out of the wire 1st before affixing it?
Very good video and good work but what to do top of the wax to the frame,,the wax has not been joined or melt with top side of the frame
Good set of videos. Thank you. But what about the gaps between the side and bottom bars?
+TiaraBoomDA Hi Tiara, these are actually the gaps that bees travel through and ventilate the beehive. Also referred to as communication holes. Bees will build around them and bind beeswax to the sides as and where required. Within a few days, the frame will be fully drawn with bees wax and if the bee season is right, honey will be collected right away. We have seen empty frames filled with honey within a week. Bees are hard workers. Thanks you for visiting our www.mahakobees.com youtube video channel. Here is a great playlist about honey if you are interested: ua-cam.com/play/PLfE6cWwwWKoiuNlh0VAbnENkpcDCiKCOb.html
New nice
+Jay Singh Rathore Hi Jay,
Thank you for visiting. Are you also a beekeeper or just interested in starting out in beekeeping?
Hello sir...what the volt output you use to melt the wax.
I'm wondering the same thing thank you
Anybody found how much volt we should u use for it
Years ago, I used a 12V transformer 500mA to embed the wire (get from any electronics supplier) with a wooden tool and a switch on top, I saw a homemade version on a different video. It only requires 2-3 seconds to heat the wire.
For best results, you need to put on top a sheet of glass )). Good video.
+Aleksey Radulets Hi. Great idea. Adds another step, but it could be very useful Thanks for the tip.
Easyest thing is to drill a hole in the top bar the size of a bamboo barbecue skewer and push it to the bottom of the frame no wire needed!!
Great idea! How many skewers have you found to be effective? And how many years do they last?
I suppose the bees incorporate the skewers into the comb? Genius 😃
your website doesn't work
Wanted to buy wax
hey, just wondering whats happening? it been like 6mths since your last video, is the channel still continuing?
+Tobias Whittaker Hi Tobias, apologies for the lack of beekeeping videos. Work and family commitments have consumed all our spare time that would otherwise be invested in our beekeeping hobby. The Beekeeping video channel is most definitely continuing though! We have just posted a new video reviewing a beekeepers homemade honey extractor - ua-cam.com/video/aPwXee1UZiI/v-deo.html.
The next video will show it in action. Thanks for visiting and your continuing support. www.MahakoBees.com.
+Mahako Bees (MAHAKOBEES) ah ok I see, good to know. It's good to see that you put family first :)

My question is:-
Is it necessary to have bee wax in every frame, I have no these yellow papers, is there any alternative, can I put simple frames without these yellow sheets
Hello Hilal, you have probably already had this answered, but anyway here is my response. Its not necessary, BUT advised. The reason is for control of the bee space inside the hive. Bees like to not have too much room, and they will ultimately build out or draw the comb that suits their requirements. This is fine until you do a hive inspection and start pulling out frames and you also start to damage honey comb or the brood comb. This damage can easily be avoided by "training" the girls to build their comb in a fashion that is beneficial for you and to their natural need to draw comb. If you only have a limited anount of foundation wax available, you can place a starter strip , a slice of your available foundation wax, in the top centre of the frame to give the girls a starting point and a foundation to draw out the comb from. I hope this helps a little bit. 😁
@@darrentummon4855 thanks buddy. Really good information
Have you ever drilled a hole in the top bar of your frame and push a barbecue skewer down throught to the bottom of the frame no need for wire!!!!! And they are cheap.
I have tried something like this with skewers and found the wax does not stay in so well. It wants to warp and bend
Mr. Mahako, please I am in Ghana (West Africa), how can I get honeycomb paper sheet to buy?
You can order it online..
It's called
"wax sheets"
Or "wax sheeting"
Or you don't love me but still find me interesting so you check in to see what I have to say (write)?
Stodoys plans are amazing!
Man it's tedious to watch you and your ridiculous over explaining.
