Exchange Wax for Foundation
We offer the beekeeper value for money if they would like to bring into us or send to us their solid wax.
We offer 1 pound of foundation in exchange for every 1.5 pounds received or as specified by the beekeeper.
There are two methods we use in doing this:
- We can do a straight swap
- We will pay €2.00 per Lb
Phone the office on 0402 24878 or email [email protected] for more details or to arrange a swap.
These rates apply if the wax received is of GOOD quality
