Foundation Embedding Board for Langstroth Frames
The process of fitting beeswax foundation becomes much easier and faster when using an embedding board. The board has a very simple design: it is made from a solid piece of wood with a raised section in the centre. A sheet of beeswax foundation is placed on the raised surface, and the wired frame is fitted over it. The frame is held securely on the board. Once the foundation and frame have been fixed in place on the board, the embedding process begins. The main purpose of this process is to press the wire into the sheet of beeswax foundation. There are various tools that can help with this process. One of the most common is an electric foundation embedder. Using this tool is just as simple as using the board itself: simply connect the embedder to a power source and you can begin.
