Why Use Thin Surplus Foundation?

Thin surplus foundation lets bees build out comb for cut comb honey. It's the go-to option for comb honey producers seeking clean, natural comb that can be cut and packaged directly from the frame—no extracting required.

Installation & Handling Tips:

• Use in shallow frames with wedge top or grooved top bars for secure fitting.
• Install during a nectar flow to promote quick draw-out by bees.
• Store sheets flat, in a cool, dry place to avoid warping or brittleness.
• Not recommended for centrifugal extraction without reinforcement, due to the ultra-thin wax profile.

Perfect For:

• Commercial or hobbyist beekeepers producing comb honey
• Expanding operations needing high-volume shallow foundation
• Cut-comb honey and section honey applications

This foundation gives you the quantity and quality you need to scale your operation or keep shallow supers ready throughout the season. Whether you're preparing for a strong flow or stocking up for next year, these thin surplus sheets are a reliable choice.
