Beewise 6-wire frames provide superior comb support for heavy honey loads, high-speed extraction, transport and hot Australian conditions.
For a commercial beekeeper, the extra two wires are a relatively small additional cost compared with the potential cost of broken comb, damaged foundation, lost honey and extraction problems.
RTG waxed frames are self-spacing frames wide enough to provide the correct bee space between combs when the frames are pushed together.
- Asymetric end bars
- Fine grained Baltic pine
- 6-wires Stainless Steel
- Brass eyelets
- 12 staples

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.

Full depth frames are the workhorse of the Langstroth hive, sized for the deep box that holds the queen's laying area and the colony's winter stores. Beewise carries full depth bee frames in both timber and plastic, so you can stay with what your hives already run or trial something different in a single box.
Choosing mostly comes down to how much preparation you're prepared to do yourself. Our AA timber frames come as a flat kit whose 13mm grooved bottom bar takes your own wax or plastic foundation, or assembled with asymmetric end bars, brass eyelets and six 304 stainless wires, either bare or waxed. For a frame that's ready on arrival, pick timber assembled with plastic foundation, or a one-piece plastic frame from Beemax or Ceracell, whose BRF is also sold in a 10 pack. The Handy Frame splits apart to hold a wax sheet and suits Apimaye as well as wooden hives, while the green Acorn drone frame is rigid and easy to spot during an inspection.
Spring build-up is when hives expand fastest, so keep spare full depth frames on hand for splits and for swapping out old, dark comb in your brood boxes. Running shallower honey supers? The matching WSP frames are listed separately, and anyone on the Perth or Sydney team can talk through sizing.
