Frame Size:

1/2 Depth - Your Russian Pine frame will be 125mm high, assembled and wired with brass eyelets on the end bars. 1/2 depth is often used as a honey super for comb honey or just because it's the lightest size when filled with honey.

3/4 Depth - Your Russian Pine frame will be 176mm high, assembled and wired with brass eyelets on the end bars. 3/4 depth is the most common size for honey supers as it is still a relatively manageable weight but allows for a good harvest per box. Some beekeepers find two 3/4 boxes a good size for a brood chamber.

WSP Depth - Your Russian Pine frame will be 183mm high, assembled and wired with brass eyelets on the end bars. WSP depth is used like the 3/4 size frame but in our Technoset 3/4 boxes, as they are slightly higher than the standard 3/4 box and fit these frames. 

Full Depth - Your Russian Pine frame will be 231mm high, assembled and wired with brass eyelets on the end bars. Full Depth is the most common size in beekeeping with it being used for brood chambers and honey supers. Beekeepers often will use two of these for the brood chamber.

Jumbo Depth - Your Russian Pine frame will be 286mm high, assembled and wired with brass eyelets on the end bars. Jumbo depth is usually used as an option of having just one brood super. This size is the closest arrangement you can have to the bees natural hive size in the wild.

Frame Endbar Size:

33mm - Your Russian Pine frames will be assembled and have an endbar size of 33mm. 33mm Gives you plenty of space in the brood box with 10 frames giving you more flexibility on how you place your frames and also allowing for the wax and propolis build up on the frames. This is often used in brood chambers as they get clogged up the most.

35mm - Your Russian Pine frames will be assembled and have an endbar size of 35mm. 35mm means that 10 frames will fit in a standard super with a near perfect fit. This will give thicker built out frames and also consistent spacing between the frames. This is often used in honey supers to get the thicker frames and more yield.

43mm - Your Russian Pine frames will be assembled and have an endbar size of 43mm. 43mm means that 8 frames will fit in a standard super. This will give thick built out frames and is often used in honey supers to get the thicker frames and more yield. Only available on 3/4 & WSP frames.

Wax Type Fitted:

Medium Brood - This means your Russian Pine frames have a sheet of Medium Brood foundation fitted to each. It is a thinner style often used in the brood chamber. The beeswax is professionally produced promising only the best.

Manuka Special - This means your Russian Pine frames have a sheet of Manuka special foundation fitted to each. It is a thicker style often used in the brood and honey chambers. Being thicker it gives more durability to the frame once drawn out and also gives the bees more wax to work with while drawing it out. The beeswax is professionally produced promising only the best.

7 frames can be fitted per standard half depth super.

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.
