Adding additional wax can greatly improve the acceptance of frames by bees, plus the rate that they will draw them out. Frames are available with a heavier layer of wax.

Alternatively, you can add more wax yourself using a foam paint roller or brush. You will need 1 to 1-1/2 pounds of wax for 10 deep frames. For safety reasons, beeswax needs to be melted in a double boiler or crockpot.

Great frames heavily waxed

I have used wooden frames for most of my five years beekeeping. Last year, after having multiple frames come apart when inspecting hives, I decided to give these frames a go. I found the bees will draw on these just as heavily as they will on wooden frames with plastic foundation and they do not break easily. I definitely recommend giving these frames a try.
