A hive box is only as useful as the bee frames hanging inside it. Beewise stocks timber and plastic bee frames in full depth, WSP, Manley and Ideal sizes to match the gear you already run. The one rule to remember: frame depth must suit box depth, so full-depth frames go in full-depth boxes and WSP frames go in WSP supers.
Our timber beehive frames are made from fine-grained pine with 35mm self-spacing end bars and brass eyelets, and come three ways: as a kit to nail up yourself, assembled and wired with 304 stainless steel, or assembled, wired and waxed ready for the hive. Full-depth frames are offered with six wires for extra comb support under heavy honey loads and fast extraction. Prefer plastic? Beemax frames are black, which makes eggs and larvae easier to spot, while the Ceracell Beetle Resistant Frame has bee cells moulded into its bars so small hive beetle has fewer places to hide.
Timber frames with a 13mm grooved bottom bar take wax or plastic sheets, so browse our wax and plastic foundation to fill them, and stock up on frame wire and brass eyelets if you wire your own. Our Perth and Sydney team can help you pick the right bee frames for your beehive boxes and supers.
Brass Eyelets are used in the small holes in wood frame end bars to prevent reinforcing wire from gouging the wood, resulting in slack frame wire.

Historically Beekeepers in Australia have been beset with excessively flexible plastic frames with weak lugs. Pleasingly Beewise Beemax frames are tough and rigid with lugs that don’t fail. Hence, they are the favourite of numerous major Australian commercial beekeepers.
The bees love ’em and you will too.
Suggestions to extend the life of your Beemax Frames (and plastic frames in general):
- Wash in warm water (60-70 Deg C)
- Do not clean using boiling water
- Do not store in direct sunlight
- Do not use with solar wax melting gadgets.

The Beetle Resistant Frame (BRF) has been specifically designed for beekeepers encountering small hive beetle.
The BRF is a plastic frame with bee cells built into the top, side and bottom bars. This allows the bees to get in there and chase any small hive beetles out, and also use the cells for storing pollen and honey. These cells filled with bee stores can't harbour small hive beetle.
