BeeCastle Langstroth Deep Brood Frames 10-Pack — 9-1/8" Yellow Beeswax-Coated Foundations, FSC Pine

BeeCastle 10-Pack deep beehive frames are ready-to-build Langstroth-compatible frames with beeswax-coated plastic foundations for faster comb acceptance in deep brood boxes.

These frames combine FSC-certified pine wood bodies with yellow, food-grade, beeswax-dipped plastic foundations sized for standard 9-1/8" deep Langstroth brood boxes. Supplied as ten full frames (top bars, bottom bars, and sidebars) plus ten waxed foundations and nails, they arrive as a kit you assemble in minutes. The yellow foundation helps visual inspection, and the beeswax coating encourages worker bees to draw comb quickly and reliably.

How do these frames fit my existing Langstroth deep brood box?

The BeeCastle frames are built to the common deep Langstroth dimension (9-1/8" x 19" x 1-3/8") so they slide into standard deep super grooves and can replace worn or damaged frames. Their dimensions allow straightforward swapping during inspections or harvest, maintaining proper bee spacing and brood pattern continuity.

• Standard deep frame size: 9-1/8" x 19" x 1-3/8"
• Compatible with Langstroth deep brood boxes and supers
• Easy to swap in place during routine hive work
• FSC-certified pine for dimensional stability and sustainability

Why choose beeswax-coated foundations instead of plain plastic?

The included plastic foundations are uniformly coated with natural beeswax to give bees a familiar scent and texture that encourages acceptance and comb building. The wax finish shortens the time bees need to start drawing comb and helps promote even, straight comb formation across the frame.

• Food-grade plastic core for durability
• Even beeswax dip improves initial acceptance by bees
• Yellow color improves visibility during inspections
• Supports consistent comb foundation across all frames

How easy is assembly and what tools or supplies will I need?

Frames arrive as a set of separate top bars, bottom bars, sidebars, and foundations plus assembly nails; basic woodworking skills and a hammer are sufficient to assemble them quickly. For a firmer joint, a bead of exterior wood glue can be applied before nailing. Once assembled, insert the wax foundation and secure according to your usual beekeeping practice.

• Contents: 10 top bars, 10 bottom bars, 20 sidebars, 10 wax foundations, nails
• Simple hammer and nails assembly; optional wood glue for extra strength
• Assembles in minutes per frame with minimal tools
• Built for routine hive handling and harvesting swaps

What materials and sustainability credentials do these frames have?

The wooden frame components are crafted from FSC-certified pine, ensuring the timber comes from responsibly managed forests. The foundation core is durable food-grade plastic and is finished with beeswax to combine longevity with natural bee-friendly surfaces. This mix gives beekeepers long-lasting frames without sacrificing comb acceptance.

• FSC-certified pine wood for sustainable sourcing
• Food-grade plastic foundation core for strength and stability
• Natural beeswax coating for bee acceptance
• Yellow foundation color aids hive inspection and comb visibility

Who is this for: The BeeCastle 10-Pack Deep Beehive Frames with beeswax-coated foundations is ideal for hobbyist and small-scale commercial beekeepers who work with standard Langstroth deep brood boxes and want ready-to-assemble, sustainable frames that encourage quick comb building. It also suits anyone replacing broken frames, expanding a deep brood box, or preferring beeswax-ready foundations to speed colony development without altering standard hive dimensions.
