A device for use in installing wax foundations in bee frames having side members fabricated from substantially dielectric materials and characterized by a plurality of electrically conductive foundation wires extended in substantial parallelism between the opposite side members. The device includes a table having a planar surface for supporting a bee frame. A pair of elongated electrical contacts of substantially inverted U-shaped configuration are mounted in spaced parallelism on the table for engagement of the mid-portions of the contacts with the opposite ends of the foundation wires whereby a DC voltage can be applied to the wires to heat the wires prior to the wires being embedded in a foundation sheet. The mid-portions of each contact is resilient and compression springs are arranged on the planar surface in supporting relationship with the mid-portions of the contacts to prevent sagging of the mid-portions thereby assuring proper electrical contact between the mid-portions and the foundation wires.
