Fully Drawn Hive Frames – NOT a foundation. The main honey flow is usually a few short months per year. The time it takes your bees to draw comb from foundation can be used to store honey. The bees require 8 pounds of honey to produce one pound of wax. Avoid this penalty and increase your honey production 50% with fully drawn plastic frames, the extra honey will pay for you frames in just one year. These are the frames that made to last a lifetime. This product has been in production for over 10 years and proven very successful! We personally have had bears destroy hives in the past, leaving only the these frames useable after the destruction.
