    How do I install Puracell foundation into a wooden frame? Begin by inserting one of the foundation’s crimped edges into either the top or bottom groove of the frame. Then, using both hands, flex the foundation until the other edge is securely fit into the opposite groove. Do not worry about bending the foundation too far — It is designed to withstand it!

    Does the wax contain 100% beeswax? Yes, the wax coat contains 100% pure capping beeswax — the freshest beeswax available. There are no additives in our wax.

After trying over 1,000 sheets of Puracell foundation, all of my (and my beekeeper friends’) initial questions were answered: Does Puracell get drawn faster? Is the wax coating thick? Does it actually have more cells? Is Puracell my preferred foundation? The answer to all of these questions is a definite yes.”
