Frames
We offer an array of bee hive frame options to fit your budget and time restraints. Our frames will work in any of the bee hive boxes we sell, which is standard Langstroth-sized equipment.
On sizes:
- Deep frames measure 9-1/8" tall.
- Medium frames measure 6-1/4" tall.
- Shallow frames measure 5-3/8" tall.
On types:
Wood frames come assembled or unassembled. They are built exclusively of eastern white pine at Humble Abodes. They come with either a grooved (for plastic foundation) or wedged (for wax foundation) top bar. Our bottom bars are single grooved and will accommodate any foundation type.
Plastic frames are one-piece molded plastic frames with foundation requiring no assembly. We feel there is a better acceptance by the bees if extra beeswax is brushed or rolled on to the frames.
If you are looking for ease in assembly, one-piece plastic frames are the best bet for you. If you are looking for a more traditional approach, consider buying wood frames.
