BeeCastle Langstroth Deep Brood Frames 10-Pack with 100% Beeswax-Coated Black Foundations, FSC Pine

BeeCastle 10-Pack Deep Beehive Frames are ready-to-assemble Langstroth deep brood frames with 100% beeswax–dipped foundations to help colonies accept and build comb quickly.

This set supplies ten full-size deep frames (9-1/8" x 19" x 1-3/8") designed to fit standard Langstroth deep brood boxes. Each wooden frame is made of FSC-certified pine and ships with food-grade plastic foundations that have been coated in pure beeswax. The foundations are black to improve egg/ brood visibility for inspections and the pack includes the wooden parts and nails needed for straightforward assembly.

How do these frames speed up comb building?

The foundations arrive pre-coated in 100% beeswax, which gives worker bees a familiar surface to start drawing comb. That reduces the time your colony spends producing new wax and encourages straighter, stronger cell construction.

• Beeswax dip provides natural scent and texture bees prefer.
• Plastic foundation holds shape for uniform cell size.
• Pre-coated foundations cut comb-building time compared with bare foundationless frames.

Are these frames easy to put together and install?

Yes — the package includes 10 top bars, 10 bottom bars, 20 sidebars and nails for each frame so you can assemble them quickly. For extra durability, apply wood glue along joints before nailing; assembled frames fit standard Langstroth deep boxes for immediate use or replacement.

• Complete parts for 10 frames included in the pack.
• Nails provided; wood glue recommended for added stability.
• Standard deep dimensions for simple swap-in during inspections or harvest.

What materials are used and why do they matter?

Frames are crafted from FSC-certified pine to balance strength and light weight, while foundations are molded from food-grade plastic then dipped in pure beeswax. That combination keeps comb uniform, is safe for bees, and makes brood inspection easier thanks to the black foundation color.

• FSC-certified pine: renewable and structurally stable.
• Food-grade plastic foundation: holds comb shape and cell pattern.
• 100% beeswax coating: natural acceptance cue for bees.

Who is this for: Backyard beekeepers and small-scale apiarists replacing broken frames, refreshing brood boxes, or starting new colonies will find this BeeCastle 10-pack convenient and practical. It suits anyone using standard Langstroth deep brood boxes who wants ready-to-assemble, FSC-certified wooden frames with beeswax-coated foundations to promote quicker comb drawing and easier inspections.
