Vladimir -
 
Have you ever considered making your own wax foundation using your own wax that would
be "less" contaminated? There is a book published here in the states called "Keeping Bees"
in which it gives you a step-by-step process for making the press. This would be another
alternative. I can give you more information if you want.
