The Deep, Black Plastic Foundation with Double Beeswax is a durable one-piece foundation sheet that serves as the structural base for comb in a deep Langstroth frame. Its molded hexagonal pattern guides straight comb, the black color makes eggs and larvae easy to spot, and a double coat of American beeswax encourages faster, more even comb building.
