BeeCastle Langstroth Medium Beehive Frames 10-Pack — 6-1/4" Waxed Yellow Foundation, FSC Pine Kit

BeeCastle 10-pack waxed foundation frames are unassembled Langstroth medium frames with beeswax-coated plastic foundation and FSC pine wood parts, made to speed comb acceptance and replace or expand a medium super.

These replacement frames come as a kit: ten wooden frame components (top bars, bottom bars and sidebars), nails and yellow food-grade plastic foundations pre-dipped in beeswax. Built to the standard Langstroth medium dimensions (6-1/4" deep), they fit medium supers for honey production, seasonal swaps, or restoring damaged frames. The yellow foundation improves visual inspection, while the beeswax coating encourages worker bees to accept and draw out comb faster than bare plastic alone.

How do these frames fit my Langstroth medium super?

The BeeCastle frames are cut to standard medium super measurements so they slide into Langstroth-compatible racks and boxes without modification. Their sizing allows for direct swaps during honey harvest or routine maintenance.

• Standard medium depth: 6-1/4" (159 mm)
• Frame outer dimensions match typical medium super slots
• Use to replace broken frames or expand a medium brood/honey body

What materials are used and why does that matter?

Each kit pairs FSC-certified pine wood rails with yellow food-grade plastic foundations that have been dipped in pure beeswax. The combination balances durability, hygiene, and colony acceptance so the frames are sturdy and easier for bees to draw comb on.

• FSC pine wood parts for strength and responsible sourcing
• Food-grade plastic foundation for consistent cell shape and reuse
• Beeswax coating accelerates comb building and increases acceptance

How quickly can I assemble and install these frames?

Frames arrive unassembled but include all wooden parts and nails for quick put-together. Most beekeepers assemble a full kit in a short session; optional wood glue adds long-term stability if you plan heavy use or repeated extraction cycles.

• Included: 10 top bars, 10 bottom bars, 20 sidebars and nails
• Typical assembly: align rails, nail or glue, press foundation into frame
• Ready to place in hive immediately after assembly

How do these frames help during harvesting and maintenance?

Having spare, correctly sized frames simplifies seasonal management: you can rotate frames, replace damaged comb, or add frames to increase storage without improvising. The wax coating and yellow tint also make inspection easier and speed up comb development for harvesting cycles.

• Swap frames during extraction to protect brood and stores
• Replace old or moldy comb quickly with ready-to-use frames
• Yellow foundation improves visual checks and spotting of brood or honey

Who is this for? Beekeepers running Langstroth medium supers — from hobbyists expanding a single colony to commercial operators maintaining many hives — will value these BeeCastle frames. They are designed for anyone who wants standard-size replacement or expansion frames that combine responsibly sourced wood, food-safe plastic foundation, and beeswax coating for faster comb acceptance. If you prefer pre-built frames, consider that these come unassembled; if you like to assemble and customize your equipment or use wood glue for extra strength, this kit provides the parts and finish you need.
