Hive Body Frame is the standard size beekeeping frame that is used in the larger size beehive boxes commonly called hive bodies (also called "deeps"). Hive bodies allow beekeepers to gather more honey than is possible with the smaller sized supers.
The hive body frame has a slot that allow you to easily install a Plasticell sheet. At maximum capacity, the typical Langstroth hive body fits either 10 or 8 hive body frames depending on the size of the setup.

Assembly
For durability, we assemble hive body frames (and all of our other woodenware products) using commercial grade wood glue and staples. Using commercial grade materials helps gives the frame an extra measure of sturdiness which helps to keep the wood from breaking or falling apart. For maximum strength, wood glue is dried for a minimum of 24 hours before woodenware is shipped.
Self-Assembly
When assembling your own frames, it is advised to use commercial grade wood glue and staples.

All woodenware is eligible for shipping or local pickup. Shipping prices are determined by distance + package weight and dimensions. For accurate shipping prices, please refer to the shipping calculator at the end of the checkout process.
