Walter T. Kelley....In my opinion the best wax available.
who really makes wax foundation
I know dadant has a wax plant but a lot of suppliers are buying from them and reselling it. Who else processes raw wax into foundation?
Thanks

Walter T. Kelley makes their own. Dadant makes their own. After that, I'm not sure who is buying it from whom.
Does Knorr still sell foundation or only candle stuff?
No question about it, they have a gorgeous wax facility!Walter T. Kelley....In my opinion the best wax available.
The bees don't care, and they never complain, whether I use Dadant or Kelley foundation. 
but they may, and you should, depending on the quality of wax they are processing. I would like to know other then heating and presssing how they get the inpurities out of the wax? I have seen pallets of wax sent in to dealers that look like they only melted down the brood comb and sent it in. So now I am down river getting their problems. any thoughts?
These are the thoughts that led me to start with a top bar hive, or a foundationless lang. (I chose TBH)but they may, and you should, depending on the quality of wax they are processing.
