The vertical embedded wires strengthen the wax sheet, and the hooked top edge sits beneath the wedge bar of a standard deep frame to hold the foundation in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, especially in deep frames, we recommend \u003cstrong\u003ecross-wiring\u003c\/strong\u003e your wooden frames. This provides additional support as bees draw out the comb and prevents sagging in warm weather. While cross-wiring is less critical for medium frames, it is strongly recommended for deep frames like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBees readily accept 100% beeswax foundation, but it does require more time, tools, and skill to install compared to plastic alternatives.
