{"product_id":"alliance-unassembled-beehive-frames","title":"Alliance Unassembled Beehive Frames","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese unassembled bee frames give you bare, ready-to-build wooden frames for standard Langstroth hives — the grooved frames that hold your foundation. Each frame is milled from kiln-dried radiata pine and machined to a uniform profile, with a grooved top bar and grooved bottom bar so a sheet of plastic or wax foundation drops straight in. Available in deep (9 1\/8\") and medium (6 1\/4\"), in singles, 10-packs, and 100-packs, these Alliance beehive frames ship flat and assemble quickly with nails or staples and glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKiln-dried radiata pine\u003c\/strong\u003e — dried to 12% moisture and grain-aligned for strength, so frames stay straight and resist warping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-machined profiles\u003c\/strong\u003e — uniform parts that line up and nail square every time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrooved top and bottom bars\u003c\/strong\u003e — take wired wax or plastic foundation, your choice, with no extra fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-drilled end bars\u003c\/strong\u003e — run support wire or foundation pins to lock the comb in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for the extractor\u003c\/strong\u003e — rigid frames hold true through spin after spin and fit standard extractors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes, packs to match your operation\u003c\/strong\u003e — deep (9 1\/8\") for brood boxes, medium (6 1\/4\") for honey supers; single, 10-pack, or 100-pack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frames arrive unassembled — four parts per frame (top bar, two end bars, bottom bar). Glue and nail or staple them into a rigid rectangle, then slide a sheet of foundation into the grooved top and bottom bars. For extra support with wax foundation, thread wire through the end-bar holes or set foundation pins before the comb is drawn. Finished frames hang in any standard 10-frame or 8-frame Langstroth box and stand up to repeated extraction, season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePick your size:\u003c\/strong\u003e deep (9 1\/8\") for brood chambers; medium (6 1\/4\") for honey supers.
