Mann Lake Beekeeping Frames 9 1/8" Deep 10-Pack — Black, One-Piece Beeswax-Coated Durable Plastic

These are Mann Lake premium 9 1/8-inch deep hive frames — a 10-pack of one-piece, beeswax-coated, BPA/BPS-free plastic frames built for durability and easy use in standard Langstroth hives.

Upgrade your hive with frames designed for longevity and straightforward handling. Mann Lake engineered these black plastic frames to arrive ready-to-use: pre-coated with 100% natural beeswax, resistant to pests like wax moths and rodents, and compatible with standard uncapping tools and equipment. The single-piece construction eliminates assembly time, helping keep your apiary maintenance efficient.

How do these frames make hive setup and maintenance faster?

The one-piece design removes any need for gluing or nailing; frames come ready to drop into your boxes. Pre-applied beeswax jumpstarts comb building, encouraging bees to accept the frames quickly and reducing initial labor for you.

• One-piece plastic construction — no assembly required
• Beeswax coating on each frame to promote comb initiation
• Fits standard 9 1/8" deep frame spacing for quick installation

Will these frames withstand pests, weather, and routine handling?

The frames are molded from BPA- and BPS-free plastic designed to resist damage from wax moths and rodents that commonly attack wooden parts. Their durable material also tolerates repeated inspections and routine wear better than many untreated wooden frames.

• Plastic body resists gnawing and bore damage
• Impervious to moisture-related warping common in wood
• Beeswax surface remains attractive to bees while protecting the core frame

Are these frames compatible with my existing beekeeping tools and extractor gear?

Mann Lake frames are built to standard dimensions and spacing so they drop into common Langstroth hives and work with typical uncapping knives, forks, and frames-handling tools. Their profile is tailored to fit extractors without modification, simplifying harvest operations.

• Standard 9 1/8" deep frame size — fits conventional boxes
• Works with most uncappers and mechanical extractors
• Uniform molded dimensions reduce variation between frames

How does the natural beeswax coating benefit my colony?

The natural beeswax layer provides a familiar surface bees recognize and are more likely to draw comb on quickly. Unlike synthetic coatings, 100% beeswax offers an inviting texture and scent that supports comb building while remaining safe for brood and honey storage.

• 100% beeswax coating encourages rapid comb foundation building
• Naturally attractive to worker bees — helps with acceptance
• Non-synthetic finish compatible with honey and brood use

Who this product is for: These Mann Lake frames are suited for backyard beekeepers, sideliners, and small commercial operations who want durable, maintenance-light frames that fit standard equipment. If you value quick setup, pest resistance, and a natural beeswax surface without the upkeep of wooden frames, this 10-pack delivers practical, ready-to-use components for routine hive management and honey harvesting.
