Apimaye Plastic Deep PRO Frames

The frames are great. They are good for a lot of reasons. First, I actually love them even more when I do a removal. I can pinch the brood comb in the frames I get from the feral hive in the frames. Beats rubber bands.

In my hives I also use them. The thing I like about them more in the hives is the ears, honestly. Wood gets propolized so badly. It feels like you’re trying to yank out a nail driven in wood sometimes. The ears are shaped as such that they minimize contact with the box. So, though they get propolis like any other frames, the amount is substantially less because the surface area is less.

In addition, the spots where frames touch are minimal. They come to points instead of being squared. Again, minimal contact between the frames, makes them easy to get apart. All this makes them easier to maneuver and inspect. It’s also less disturbance to the bees because the frames don’t “pop” and just ease apart. Bee keeping is hard enough, with these frames, you can mitigate some of the needless struggle.

Lastly, Pierco makes a wonderful foundation. It’s the only foundation I have gotten that is hive ready. No need to rewax because of poor wax coating by the maker. They actually properly coat the foundation. This saves time and mess and is worth the extra expense to me. I am good to not have to make a mess waxing foundation I just bought.

Easy to work with, no nailing. happy with purchase

These deep Pro frames are nice. Easily come apart and the foundation fits well between and very secure when closed. What more could one want.

Glad these are so sturdy.

These frames are a must have tool for any beekeeper who does honey bee removals. The split frame option speeds up the process and provides much more success with retention inside the hive. They clean up easy and are completely reusable. Thank you Apimaye for bringing these back into the fold.
