MayBee Deep Brood Beehive Frames 10-Pack with Beeswax-Dipped Black Plastic Foundation — 9-1/8" Langstroth Deep, Pine Construction

MayBee Deep Brood Beehive Frames are a 10-pack of unassembled pinewood frames fitted with food-grade plastic foundations dipped in beeswax to help bees draw comb quickly and make brood inspection easier.

These deep frames are built for standard Langstroth-style brood boxes and combine solid pine construction with beeswax-coated plastic foundation sheets. The frames arrive unassembled so you can nail or staple them together and place them in an 8- or 10-frame deep brood box. The black foundation provides high contrast for spotting white brood and eggs during routine hive checks.

How do these frames speed up comb building?

The included foundations are food-grade plastic sheets thoroughly dipped in natural beeswax. The wax coating gives worker bees a familiar chemical and physical surface to start drawing comb on, reducing the time they spend constructing initial cells.

• Beeswax-dipped plastic foundation encourages immediate cell-building.
• Plastic core keeps foundations flat and stable in warm weather.
• Pre-coated wax reduces the need for supplemental feeding to stimulate wax production.

Will these frames fit my brood box and how big are they?

These are standard deep frames with external dimensions of 9-1/8" top bar length, 19" overall, and 1-3/8" thickness, designed for conventional deep brood boxes. Because they come unassembled, you can prepare them for either 8-frame or 10-frame deep configurations before placing them in the hive.

• Standard deep size: 9-1/8" x 19" x 1-3/8".
• Compatible with Langstroth-style 8- and 10-frame deep brood boxes.
• Sold in packs of 10 unassembled frames for flexible setup.

What materials and finish should I expect?

The frames are crafted from kiln-dried pine with smooth, precise polishing on every surface to reduce splinters and make assembly easier. The foundations are food-grade plastic that have been dipped in beeswax; the black color of the foundation helps you visually inspect brood and eggs during checks.

• Pinewood frame components, polished for easy handling and assembly.
• Food-grade plastic foundation with a beeswax dip for natural acceptance.
• Black foundation color improves contrast for brood inspection.

How do these frames affect routine hive maintenance?

The solid pine frames combined with wax-dipped foundations simplify hive inspections and comb management. The durable materials resist warping, and the dark foundation makes it easier to spot brood patterns and identify issues quickly.

• Sturdy frame construction reduces replacements and maintenance.
• Wax-coated foundation lowers time to drawn comb, speeding colony development.
• High-contrast black background improves egg and brood visibility.

Who is this for: These MayBee deep brood frames are aimed at backyard beekeepers and small-scale apiarists who use standard Langstroth deep brood boxes and want reliable, ready-to-dip beeswax foundation for faster comb building and clearer brood inspections. They suit both new beekeepers assembling their first brood chamber and experienced keepers replacing or expanding frames.
