LS Medium Wood Frames - 50 Pack

A pack of 50 Medium Langstoth Frames with 6 holes holes in the top and bottom bars for wiring (please note the illustration shows our previous frame which had two horizontal wires).    These frames require wiring before use, using the wire, eyelets and crimper available elsewhere in this section.  Once the frames are wired they are much easier to use than the more traditional UK frame - no more faffing about with nails.  The frames have 6 vertical wires and hold the foundation very flat and securely.   

These frames have a top bar which is the same thickness all along its length.  This gives great strength but it does lift the frame up, reducing the top bee space, although this is countered by a corresponding increase in bottom space.  They can be mixed with conventional frames with thin lugs but some beekeepers may prefer to keep them separate.   This type of frame design is now very common in some European countries.

Please note these hives are known in the rest of the World as Medium or 3/4 Langstroth.  In the UK they are known as Dadant Shallow or MD Shallow.  If buying foundation in the UK ensure you buy this size.   The frames are 6.25 inches deep. 

There is an excellent guide to wiring frames at Dave Cushman's site here.
