While rereading archives of the journal "Beekeeping," I pay attention to the experiences of various beekeepers. Many do not limit themselves to standard textbook methods but invent and try new techniques. Seemingly a simple task—equipping frames with foundation—there are many variants and devices.

Regarding electrical devices used to fix foundation onto wire in frames, two simple and convenient types stand out. The first is a transformer stepping down voltage from 220 to 12 V, plugged into an outlet, with two wires briefly touching the tensioned wire in the frame. You can solder all foundation threads at once or one by one. It is important not to overheat the wire to avoid cutting the foundation. The wires should be of different lengths to prevent contact.
