Deep drone frame.

Deep Drone Frame

$5.51

This one piece plastic frame and foundation has a larger cell pattern which encourages the bees to make drone comb. As part of your Integrated Pest Management program for varroa mites, insert one drone frame into each hive. When the bees have capped the cells, place the frame in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight. Remove the frame from the freezer and let it warm to room temperature. Drag your capping scratcher across the cells, breaking them open, then place the frame back in the hive for the worker bees to clean out the dead drones and mites. Repeat the cycle as the bees refill and cap the cells.
Use with 9 5/8″ (24.45 cm) Hive Bodies


19"  x  9 ⅛"  x  1 ⅜"

This works great, bees love it. I saw it at the store years ago, but I was just starting outso I passed on it. Glad I got them now, starting 2 new hives with them and it working out fine.

It was full of honey in this hive. But, in other hives, I could see mites on larvae.

Drone frame was fine. It was the 50 frame rest I purchased with it that was the problem. They were not cut to width. You retuned them but I had to go and order from another supplier which cost me more.
