Metal Foundation Support Pins
Metal foundation support pins hold wax foundation in the frame without cross-wiring — a quick, beginner-friendly alternative to stringing wire. Slide the pins through the pre-drilled holes in the frame end bars and they pin the foundation in place so it won't sag or slump as the bees draw it.
Features
- Hold wax foundation in place without wiring.
- Far easier than cross-wiring — great for beginners.
- Reusable and long-lasting metal.
- Sold in 100-count and 1000-count packs.
How it works
Push a support pin through each pre-drilled hole in the frame end bar so it crosses behind the foundation. The pins brace the wax sheet so it stays flat and centered while the bees draw it out.
