6 1/4 Assembled Medium Frames - Acorn Foundation - 10 Pack
Skip the build night. These 6-1/4" medium frames arrive fully assembled with California-made Acorn plastic foundation already installed — glued, nailed, and ready to drop into your honey super or medium box. No four-part frames to knock together, no foundation to fit, no wiring or waxing. Open the box and put them to work. Sold in 10-packs, in black or white.
Features
- Fully assembled 6-1/4" medium 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 white (traditional look for honey frames) or black (eggs and larvae show clearly if used for brood)
- Sold as a 10-pack — a full medium 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 medium 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. Mediums are the go-to for honey supers and for beekeepers running all-medium hives to keep boxes light and equipment interchangeable. The plastic core spins cleanly in radial and tangential extractors at harvest.
Before you order
- Depth: 6-1/4" medium — sized for honey supers and all-medium operations. For brood boxes, see the 9-1/8" deep version.
- Color: white is the traditional choice for honey frames; black makes eggs and young larvae easier to spot if you use mediums for brood.
- Ready to use: no assembly, gluing, wiring, or waxing — these go straight into the hive.
- Pack: sold in 10-packs (one medium box per pack).

FAQ
Are these ready to use out of the box?
Yes. They're assembled and the foundation is already installed — drop them straight into the super.
Do I need to add wax?
No. The Acorn foundation is already heavily waxed to encourage fast comb-building.
White or black — which should I choose?
White is the traditional look for honey supers. Black makes eggs and small larvae stand out if you run mediums for brood.
Will they fit my hive?
Yes — standard 6-1/4" medium Langstroth frames fit both 8-frame and 10-frame medium boxes.
Can I extract honey from them?
Yes. The plastic foundation is rigid enough to hold comb through radial and tangential extractors.
