What is the difference between plastic foundation with wax versus heavy wax?

All plastic frames come waxed, but heavy wax has an extra layer that bees accept better, speeding up the process of drawing comb.

Plastic Foundation: Black vs White

• Black foundation is great for brood, the high contrast against eggs allows easier identification
• White foundation is great for supers, the light nature of the plastic displays true color of honey
