Shop Honeycomb Frames and Round Comb Honey Equipment

Unlike conventional frames used primarily for brood development or extracted honey, specialized comb honey frames allow bees to build wax comb inside sections that can be packaged and sold with minimal additional processing. Our collection includes frame components, complete systems, replacement parts, and finished-comb packaging supplies.

Ross Round Honeycomb Frames

Ross Round frames are designed for producing individual round sections of comb honey. Our Ross Round Honeycomb Frame Halves are sold in pairs. Two halves assemble around compatible rings to create a frame for round comb production.

Bees build and cap natural honeycomb inside the rings, creating individual sections that can be packaged after harvesting. These specialized frames require compatible round-comb equipment and should not be confused with ordinary Langstroth frames.

Ceracell Round Comb Double Decker Kits

Want to produce round comb honey using an existing full-depth hive box? The Ceracell Round Comb Double Decker Complete Kit provides equipment for producing round honeycomb sections inside a standard deep box.

Each kit includes two round-comb frames, connecting clips, thin beeswax foundation, and 16 white rings. One kit creates a single double-decker unit. A full-depth box can accommodate eight such units. This option is especially useful for beekeepers who want to experiment with round comb honey without purchasing a dedicated Ross Round super.

Ross Round Honeycomb Super Kits

For beekeepers planning dedicated round comb production, our Ross Round Honeycomb Super Kits offer a more comprehensive system. The kits are designed for 8-frame or 10-frame hive configurations and include specialized frames and section rings.

An 8-frame kit accommodates 28 finished round-comb sections, while the 10-frame version accommodates 32 sections. Thin surplus foundation, covers, and labels may need to be purchased separately. Review the complete product specifications and current availability before ordering.

Round Honey Comb Rings, Covers, and Accessories

Successful round comb production requires compatible accessories in addition to frames. Our Ross Round Comb Rings provide the individual sections where bees construct and cap their honeycomb. The collection also includes frame clips, replacement springs, refill kits, section covers, and packaging labels.

For finished products, our Ceracell Round Comb Containers include 16 white bases and clear lids. These supplies help beekeepers prepare finished comb honey for display, gifting, or retail sales.

Cut Comb Honey Frames vs. Round Comb Frames

Both cut comb honey frames and round-comb systems allow beekeepers to sell honey in its natural wax comb, but the harvesting methods differ. Traditional cut-comb production uses suitable frames and foundation to produce sheets of capped honeycomb. Beekeepers cut the finished comb into portions for packaging.

Round-comb systems use individual rings or sections that determine the shape of the finished product while the bees build their comb. Round-comb sections can therefore be packaged without cutting large sheets of honeycomb into smaller pieces.

How to Choose the Best Honeycomb Frames for Your Hive

Before buying honeycomb frames for bees, consider your existing hive equipment and intended harvest format.

• Hive compatibility: Confirm whether your setup uses an 8-frame, 10-frame, or full-depth Langstroth box.

• Comb production method: Choose conventional cut comb or a dedicated round-comb system.

• Kit completeness: Check whether frames, rings, foundation, covers, and labels are included.

• Production capacity: Estimate how many finished honeycomb sections you want to produce.

• Replacement supplies: Select systems with compatible refill rings, clips, and packaging.

• Colony conditions: Strong colonies and favorable nectar flows are important for drawing fresh comb.

If you're searching for drawn comb frames for sale, remember that empty round-comb frames are not pre-drawn comb. Bees must construct the honeycomb themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Honeycomb Frames

1. Where can I buy high-quality honeycomb frames online?

Blythewood Bee Company sells honeycomb frames, Ross Round frame components, Ceracell round-comb kits, section rings, and related accessories online. Beekeepers can compare specialized frames, compatible hive configurations, and replacement supplies before purchasing equipment for comb honey production.

2. What are the best types of honeycomb frames for beekeeping?

The best honeycomb frames depend on whether you're producing brood comb, extracted honey, cut comb, or round comb honey. Conventional wooden frames suit standard hive management, while Ross Round and Ceracell systems are designed specifically for producing individual comb honey sections.

3. What is the difference between cut comb and round comb honey frames?

Cut comb frames allow bees to build honeycomb that is later cut into portions. Round comb frames use individual rings that shape the honeycomb during construction. The finished round sections can be covered and packaged without cutting the comb into separate pieces.

4. How do I choose the right honeycomb cassette or round-comb system?

Check your hive dimensions, frame compatibility, number of desired honeycomb sections, foundation requirements, and packaging accessories. Ross Round systems use specialized supers and frames, while Ceracell double-decker kits can operate inside compatible standard deep boxes.

5. Do honeycomb frames come with drawn comb?

Not necessarily. Many honeycomb frames and round-comb kits contain empty components and foundation that bees must draw into new comb. Blythewood's Ross Round and Ceracell equipment is designed for comb construction rather than supplying ready-drawn honeycomb.

6. Can I use round comb frames in a standard Langstroth hive?

Some systems require specialized equipment. Ross Round frame halves are intended for compatible round-comb supers, while Ceracell double-decker kits are designed to work inside standard full-depth Langstroth boxes. Always verify frame dimensions and assembly requirements.

7. Do I need a honey extractor for round comb honey?

No. Round comb honey is harvested and packaged with the natural beeswax comb intact. Once the sections are appropriately capped and ready for harvesting, they can be removed and placed into compatible containers. Centrifugal extraction is unnecessary for this product format.

8. What equipment do I need to package round comb honey for sale?

You generally need compatible round-comb frames, section rings, suitable foundation, and containers or section covers. Labels may also be required for retail presentation and regulatory compliance. Blythewood Bee Company offers round-comb packaging containers, covers, rings, and labels.
