{"product_id":"acorn-plastic-frames","title":"Acorn Plastic Frames – One-Piece, Deep \u0026 Medium","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcorn plastic frames are a one-piece frame and foundation molded as a single rigid unit — no assembly, no wiring, and no separate foundation to install. Each Acorn full plastic frame is made from food-grade plastic with a precision honeycomb cell pattern and a heavy beeswax coating, so bees accept it quickly and draw straight, even comb. Made in California, these one-piece plastic frames won't bow, warp, or blow out in the extractor, and the solid plastic shrugs off the wax moth and rodent damage that ruins wax comb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece design\u003c\/strong\u003e — frame and foundation in a single molded unit; nothing to nail, glue, or wire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-molded cell structure\u003c\/strong\u003e — patterned like natural comb so bees draw it out readily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy beeswax coating\u003c\/strong\u003e — a generous coat encourages fast acceptance and comb building.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinforced, redesigned ears\u003c\/strong\u003e — a stronger ear configuration and a flatter, stiffer body that resists bowing and warping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWax moth \u0026amp; rodent resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e — solid plastic gives pests nothing to tunnel through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e — manufactured in California.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes, two colors\u003c\/strong\u003e — Deep (9-1\/8\") and Medium (6-1\/4\"), in white or black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack options for any operation\u003c\/strong\u003e — single frame, 10-pack, or full case (72 per case medium, 52 per case deep).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrop a frame straight into a standard Langstroth box and the bees go to work — the heavy wax coat smells and feels like comb they would build themselves, so they draw it faster than bare plastic.
