Deep 9 1/8 Inch Langstroth Frame, Wedged Top / Split Bottom with Holes

Our frames are designed in a very specific way that works well for the bees and also the beekeeper. There is a gap that bees prefer inside the hive between two sheets of comb and it is called the bee space. When frames are placed in the box and touch each other, they are spaced exactly the way the bees want them because of the innovative design of the frames.   Each frame comes with four separate pieces, a wedged top bar, a split bottom bar, and two sidebars with holes that fit together with glue, nails, or staples to form the frame. Each frame fits a sheet of the foundation for the bees to build their comb on top of.  Each frame is designed to fit inside a deep box in just the right way so it can be easily removed and inspected by the beekeeper.   Deep frames are most commonly used inside the deep/ brood boxes where the queen will lay eggs and the space the bees will live in over winter.  The large surface area of the frame gives the queen more space to lay eggs without having to move
