The Deep 9-1/8″ Grooved Top Bar Frames with Coated Plasticell are a fundamental piece of equipment for any beekeeper looking to expand their hive or replace aging components. These frames provide a steady structure for your honeybees to build out their honeycomb, utilizing a pre-installed foundation that encourages straight, organized growth. By choosing a frame with a coating of natural wax, you help the colony accept the new addition faster, reducing the time it takes for them to start storing nectar or for the queen to begin laying eggs. Working with these frames simplifies hive inspections since the bees are less likely to create cross-comb between the walls. It is a reliable choice for maintaining a healthy and productive apiary throughout the season.

Additional Information
When you are installing these into your hive, make sure to push all the frames tightly together toward the center to maintain the correct gap between them. If you leave too much space, the bees will often fill it with burr comb, making your next inspection a sticky mess. I also suggest checking the wax coverage on the foundation; if it feels a bit thin, you can lightly roll on an extra layer of melted beeswax to get the bees started even faster. Keeping your frames aligned properly helps ensure the queen has a flat surface for a consistent brood pattern.
