Product details
Keep frames evenly positioned with metal frame spacers. Installed at the frame rests, these strips guide placement and reduce hand-spacing during hive setup and inspections. Choose the option that matches your box and intended frame layout.
Choose Your Spacing Option
- 8-frame: Spaces eight frames in an 8-frame box.
- 9-frame: Spaces nine frames in a 10-frame box.
- 10-frame: Spaces ten frames in a 10-frame box.
Using Nine Frames in a Honey Super
Nine-frame spacing gives established comb more room to thicken, which can make uncapping easier. Use fully drawn comb when reducing a 10-frame honey super to nine frames. Widely spacing undrawn foundation can encourage unwanted comb between frames.
Quantity & Installation
Sold individually. Order two spacers per box, one for each opposing frame rest. Check the fit before fastening; some trimming may be needed because box dimensions vary by manufacturer.
Nails are not included.
