Strong, Smart & Ready to Go - The Modern Beekeeper’s Choice for Efficient Hive Management.
Bring strength, simplicity, and lasting performance to your hive with our Full-Depth Plastic Pre-coated Wax Frames, a modern upgrade from traditional wooden frames. These plastic hive frames are designed to support healthy colonies and boost honey production while combining the durability of high-grade plastic with the natural appeal of real beeswax. The premium beeswax for coating frames provides your bees with a familiar surface to start building comb, allowing them to build comb faster and helping your hive thrive from day one.
These plastic bee frames are lightweight and built to resist rot, cracking, and pest damage. Whether you’re managing a backyard hive or running a commercial apiary, these frames for beehives deliver long-term value and reliability. Hive inspections are made simpler with these black plastic bee frames, where eggs and larvae are easier to spot against the dark background.
From brood to honey supers, these plastic honey bee frames offer a clean, stable foundation for your colony to build on. They’re tough enough for repeated use, easy to clean, and ideal for beekeepers who want to spend less time maintaining equipment and more time enjoying healthy, productive bees.

- Hold each frame correctly by gripping the top bar to protect the wax surface.
- Insert the frames vertically into the box.
- Maintain correct bee space (~9.5 mm) between frames.
- Align & level the frames to ensure they aren’t leaning or bowed; keep a consistent “bee corridor.”
- Place inner cover and the lid securely.
- If acceptance is slow, warm-brush a little extra wax (or spray a light sugar syrup) to encourage drawing on frames.
- Avoid harsh scrapers; rinse with warm water to clean.
- Inspect regularly for any damage.
