Hexagonal Frames For Comb Honey Cups
Honeycomb Hives Universal Hexagonal Smart Frames are the workhorses of Lambrecht's Hive Systems and are used in all his Horizontal Hives and Fold-Hives. Made of clear pine, these frames easily disassemble for quick bench work. There are three parts per frame which go together with half-lap joinery, secured by nylon screws. The simplicity of these three part frames belies the versatility they actually deliver A 1/8" x 3/8" deep continuous groove/slot around the inside of the frame accepts either hexagonal shaped (template provided) foundation (plastic or wax), or wooden slips to make foundation-less frames. These frames come standard with nylon knurled-knob, threaded screws which both secure the frame parts together and also serve as frame spacers within the hives. These spacers are the length of typical recommended frame spacing of 1 3/8" or, by including a 1/8" washer, the width can be expanded to 1 1/2" often used in honey supers.
