Product Description

These drone foundation sheets, made from 100% Beeswax, are specially designed for the targeted production of drone brood. They are ideal for beekeepers who wish to intentionally use and control drone brood.

Droner frames are hung in a special droner frame or in standard Frames in the brood chamber.

This relieves pressure on the area with worker brood and allows you to specifically control comb construction.
