I bought one a few years ago on Amazon real cheap and made several sheets of beewax foundation, for me it took tons of wax to make a sheet so I stopped using it. You make it look so easy by the way ( there were a lot of inconsitence spots in the wax like you mentioned ).
Thanks but It took several tries to get it right...In South Africa it doesn't always work to put in full frame foundation because the bees in the neighborhood eat away at the wax, or it gets distorted in the heat and the bees end up drawing out wonky comb. So we tend to use starter strips. Ill be placing some trap hives and as soon as I have some results ill share them!
I used lightly soapy water, remove excess, getting consistent takes time,but works okay,rolling it helps with brittleness ,I also like the dipping board technique
I think there is lots of room for improvement...i also like the dipping board method. Maybe there is a way to combibe the two? On mobday i put out a whole lot of trap boxes ( it is how we get new swarms in South Africa) and ill report back on what the bees think.

@@user-eu5gb4mm7w russian videos show a poly matrix mold,its not as soft as the silicone,after using dipping board to get sheets then they roll the sheet in the poly mold under pressure from a clothes wringer ,embossing the hex cells,and less brittle
It could be that the silicone used to make the mold might be a factor? Or that the beeswax might be impure or not at the right temperature when you cast it or remove it?
Al fin salió al mercado este molde. Para los apicultores en Guatemala le es altamente costoso las láminas de cera. Esto les ayudará a bajar costos. Si habían moldes para pasteles como no haber para cera? 🎉🎉
I don’t have one, But it looks as though a rolling pin could be used level it out. I read a comment that the sheet is inconsistent. I thinking this could work. It’s slow. Hope you have a lot of time on your hands

Best advice here…”never do this when the wife is home” 😂
😂
These are worker bee cells. I checked on what the bees do with them and they draw them out well. Ill do a video on this soon.
Nice video where do you buy the mould from
Que bien esto! ❤️

Hello, good luck. I also bought the same mold. I have a question for you. Are the cells created by bees for male bees or worker bees? Thank you.
I don’t have one, But it looks as though a rolling pin could be used level it out. I read a comment that the sheet is inconsistent. I thinking this could work.
It’s slow. Hope you have a lot of time on your hands
you could glue the silicon on a pice of glass for stability and level.
good job, where on the internet can i find it? what is the brand? thank you
I found it online from a south african site ( i am in south africa) called " Easybeezy". I am sure you can find it online anywhere.
Grazie per il video. Lo comprato anche io ma non sapevo come usarlo.
I think there ir room for improvement. Im goung to try using a hot water bottle as a roller. Will send an update😊

How by this?
It's OK doing this but the wax is so hard and brittle the bees dont like using it.
Im placing some trap hives today, and Ill share what happens. Holding thumbs.
I have yet to get satisfaction from this mould 😢😊 after few hunderd times of pouring and sticking badly
