The frames are milled from stable pine and polished for smooth edges, while the honey-colored foundations give bees a ready surface to start constructing comb. Because the foundations are food-grade plastic coated with beeswax, they combine structural support with a familiar wax surface that encourages rapid, orderly comb development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these frames fit into my existing medium super setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frames conform to standard medium super sizing (6-1\/4\" x 19\" x 1-3\/8\") so they slide into most 8- or 10-frame medium boxes without modification. Unassembled delivery keeps shipping compact and lets you inspect each piece before building. Quick assembly and standard dimensions mean you can add an entire brood of ready-to-use frames at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard medium super dimensions for 8- or 10-frame boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArrive unassembled to reduce damage in transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolished pine for smooth handling and easier assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose food-grade plastic foundations coated in beeswax?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlastic foundations provide a durable backbone so combs stay straight and intact during inspections and honey extraction. The beeswax dip gives a natural texture and scent that bees readily accept, helping them start comb building sooner than on bare plastic. The yellow, honey-colored foundations also make it simpler to spot debris or irregularities during hive checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFood-grade plastic resists warping and supports heavier honey stores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeeswax coating provides natural adhesion and familiar cues to bees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHoney-colored plastic makes visual inspection faster and clearer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable and easy to work with are the pine frames?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frames are cut from stable pine and precisely polished on all faces to reduce splinters and make handling safer during hive work.
