Abstract: In the prior art, the full honeycombs or the foundations are made with resin and the beekeeper sprays beeswax onto the honeycomb or the foundation in order to have the bees become attracted to the resin or high density polyethylene honeycomb or foundation. The present invention involves the concept of evenly coating the plastic resin pellets with hot melted beeswax so that the coated pellets have the beeswax admixed thereon. Therefore, at the time of the molding of the plastic pellets into a foundation, a foundation with border, or honeycomb, the final molded product will have the beeswax molded therein, so that the bees will automatically be attracted to the honeycomb or the foundation so that they can automatically place their honey into the honeycomb or build the honeycomb right onto the foundation and lay their eggs, raise their brood and deposit honey into the honeycomb.

Abstract: Molding both faces of a honeycomb simultaneously by the action of respective belts carrying cores having resilience properties and, after cooling of the honeycomb, subjecting it to compression on both faces to separate the cores from the walls of the cells. The apparatus comprises two endless belts which are arranged opposite one another and are mounted between respective pairs of guide drums and both of which are provided with resilient cores of a shape complementary to that of the cells to be produced, the last pair of drums being capable of exerting a compression force against both faces of the honeycomb produced in order to detach it from the cores.
