Kitset frames made to suit the wooden comb honey sections.

Fit in a Standard 1/2 Depth Box

Two options available:

3 section frame - fits 3 wooden sections. Can have better results as there is no comb honey to fill out on the edge of frames - not always consistent.

4 section Frame - Fits 4 wooden sections. Fit maximum sections per frame.

Frames come with 4mm thick ply separator sheet to ensure the bees build the comb to uniform levels.

7 frames can be fitted per standard half depth super.

Alternatively you can use 5 of these section frames plus 3 standard Hoffman frames.

It is a good idea to draw out some standard Hoffman frames first then place them on outsides of the Super as bait frames to get the bees working in the super real quick.

In a marginal honey flow, the 3-section frames are more likely to all get filled completely, as compared to a 4-section frame where the bees may leave the outer corners uncapped.

Technosetbee Full Depth #2 Frame for Comb Honey Production:

This new revolutionary frame is designed for comb honey production. The beekeeper simply cuts a sheet of wax foundation into two pieces as shown in the photos and inserts each piece through an opening in the top of the frame. (One small offcut is not required.) The two squares are 203mm x 195mm each. A plastic capping locks it into place.

The Thin Super wax foundation can be purchased already cut to the correct size here.

When honey is capped, simply slice with an electric knife or a hot knife into the desired sizes. 

Each of the 4 rectangles (or windows) in the frame are 184mm high. The 2 outer rectangles are 88mm wide. the 2 inner rectangles are 97mm wide. If the comb is cut to 105mm long to suit the larger square containers, the comb honey will weigh between 300g and 340g, depending on thickness. 

Cut-comb honey containers are available here. Cut the honey comb up to suit the container sizes.

Manufactured from high quality food grade polypropylene.  End bars are 36mm wide. 10 frames will fit snugly per box. Alternatively you could fit 9 frames per box and space them evenly to produce thicker slabs of comb honey.

Comb Honey is very much sort after and sells for very high prices. These frames make the job so much easier and more efficient.

Frame net weight: 0.35 Kg

Caution! Do not use these frames in areas where the bees could collect poisonous Tutin. 

In NZ tutin zones, any honey harvested after 31st Dec must be tutin tested. When the honey is cut from the frames, the honey dribbles from every cut must be collected, blended and a sample sent to an authorised laboratory for tutin testing before the honey is sold or given away.

Tutin can potentially be collected anywhere by the bees above the latitude line of 42 degrees south in NZ. (Where the Passion Vine Hoppers live)

All of the beeswax used for this comb foundation is first heated to approximately 110 degrees Celsius before being micro filtered to remove all dross and moisture.  This ensures that when you buy our comb foundation, it is sterilised and you are only paying for pure beeswax. Because of its purity, it is not attacked by wax moths.

All of the beeswax used for this comb foundation is first heated to approximately 110 degrees Celsius before being micro filtered to remove all dross and moisture. This ensures that when you buy our comb foundation, you are only paying for pure beeswax.

The filtered liquid beeswax then passes to the Weed Process sheeting machine.  This converts the beeswax from a liquid state into a continuous flat sheet and is one of the secrets of making high quality comb foundation.  During this process, the beeswax gains greatly in elasticity and strength to the point where a piece of cold comb foundation can be scrunched up and then flattened out again without breaking.

The rolls of sheet then pass to the automatic milling machine. The pure beeswax sheet passes between two precision engraved rollers which imprint the pattern onto the beeswax. The continuous sheet is then cut to size. 

Throughout the process, stringent quality control checks are continuously carried out. The life of our Comb Foundation is indefinite if stored in proper packaging and in dry conditions. Because of its purity, it is not attacked by wax moths.
