9 1/8 Assembled Deep Frames - Acorn Foundation - 10 Pack
Skip the build night. These 9-1/8" deep frames arrive fully assembled with California-made Acorn plastic foundation already installed — glued, nailed, and ready to hang straight in your brood box. No four-part frames to knock together, no foundation to fit, no wiring or waxing. Open the box, drop them in, and let the bees get to work. Sold in 10-packs, in black or white.
Features
- Fully assembled 9-1/8" deep wooden frames — no building required
- Fitted with heavily waxed Acorn plastic foundation for fast comb acceptance
- Rigid one-piece foundation resists bowing and warping and holds up to extraction
- Breakaway communication hole for easy bee movement between frames
- Choose black (eggs and larvae show up clearly in the brood box) or white (traditional look)
- Sold as a 10-pack — a full deep box
How it works
Each frame is already glued and nailed into a rigid rectangle with a sheet of Acorn foundation locked into the grooved top and bottom bars. Hang ten in a standard 10-frame deep box (or use what an 8-frame box holds) and you're done — the heavy wax coat gets bees drawing comb quickly, often within days during a flow. When it's time to harvest, the plastic core is stiff enough to spin in any radial or tangential extractor without blowing out.
Before you order

- Ready to use: no assembly, gluing, wiring, or waxing — these go straight into the hive.
- Pack: sold in 10-packs (one deep box per pack).

FAQ
Are these ready to use out of the box?
Yes. They're assembled and the foundation is already installed — hang them straight in the hive.
Do I need to add wax?
No. The Acorn foundation is already heavily waxed to encourage fast comb-building.
Black or white — which should I choose?
Black makes eggs and small larvae stand out, which helps most in the brood box. White is the traditional look and common in honey supers.
Will they fit my hive?
Yes — standard 9-1/8" deep Langstroth frames fit both 8-frame and 10-frame deep boxes.
Can I extract honey from them?
Yes. The plastic foundation is rigid enough to hold comb through radial and tangential extractors.
