The invention relates to a cell construction aid for beekeeping, consisting of a plate made of a polymer, which is composed of a plurality of rhombus-shaped surface elements (a1, a2, a3; b1, b2, b3; c1, c2, c3;), each along their side edges are connected to one another in such a way that three-sided pyramid-shaped projections (A, B, C,.) and recesses are formed on the opposing surfaces of the plate at regular intervals from one another. The object of the invention is to develop such a cell construction aid in such a way that it is biodegradable, does not require any coating with beeswax or wax-like substances and accordingly makes the wax cycle in beekeeping superfluous. To solve this problem, the invention proposes that the plate consists of a food-safe, biodegradable polymer with a melting temperature of over 120 ° C, that the edges and tips of the three-sided pyramid-shaped projections (A, B, C;.) Have a radius of curvature of less than 0.5 mm and that the surfaces of the surface elements (a1, a2, a3; b1, b2, b3; c1, c2, c3;) have a maximum roughness depth (Rt) of Rt = 1.5 µm or less . The plate forming the cell construction aids preferably consists of PLA (polylactide) and / or PHB (polyhydroxybutyric acid) and / or one of their derivatives.
