I bought some foundation from Poland just a sample amount .The man who I bought it from makes all his own foundation I just had to tell him what size to cut it ..
It works out 45% cheaper.
The one thing I don't like about it is the colour it looks like a very light brown
Here is a pic , what's your thoughts

Can’t see the issue with colour unless it’s pale bleached and looks like it’s been sitting around for years. Should also say the brownish top lid looks just like the thornes premier stuff I picked up the other day. The best test will obviously be the bees. Tell us how you get on I may want his details.

Thornes premier wired foundation £8.45
Thornes standard unwired thin £4.80..........almost 45% cheaper

It costs €18 euros for 10 sheets of wired national brood in Ireland now
