Silicone Mold For Wax Domes

Silicone mold to make 20 beeswax candles.

It is enough to heat wax (preferably operculum wax) to 80 °C and pour a little into the mould. As it cools, the domes form. They are then easily accepted by the bees when used for queen rearing.

Thanks to its flexibility, it allows future cells to be easily separated from the mold.

Once the domes are made, they are then adhered with hot wax onto the bar of the queen rearing frame.
