MayBee Medium Super Beehive Frames 10-Pack (6-1/4-inch Black) Wax-Coated Pine for Faster Comb Build

MayBee Medium Super beehive frames are pinewood frames pre-fitted with food-grade plastic foundation sheets dipped in beeswax to help honey bees build comb quickly and clearly.

These unassembled 10-packs are made to fit standard medium supers (6-1/4" deep) and combine a durable, precisely sanded pine frame with a black, wax-coated foundation that improves comb initiation and makes brood inspection easier. The frames arrive ready for quick assembly and installation in either 8- or 10-frame medium boxes, offering a reliable, affordable option for backyard keepers and small-scale apiarists.

How do these frames speed up comb building?

The plastic foundation sheets are factory-coated with clean beeswax so worker bees recognize the wax surface and start drawing cells sooner than they would on bare plastic. That jump-start reduces the time and effort your colony spends on foundation initiation and supports more uniform comb construction.

• Beeswax dip provides natural scent cues for immediate cell building.
• Plastic foundation maintains straight comb and resists warping.
• Pre-mounted foundation reduces in-hive handling time.

Will these frames fit my medium super hive boxes?

Yes — the frames are sized to the standard medium frame dimensions of 6-1/4" x 19" x 1-3/8", suitable for most commercial and hobby medium supers. They are sold unassembled in a pack of 10 so you can build only what you need for an 8- or 10-frame configuration.

• Standard medium frame dimensions ensure compatibility with typical boxes.
• Sold in 10-frame sets; assemble to match 8- or 10-frame layouts.
• Sanded pine frame edges reduce splinters and ease handling during assembly.

What are the practical benefits of the black foundation?

The dark plastic foundation provides strong contrast against white eggs and larval stages, making visual inspections faster and less stressful for both you and the colony. It also conceals residue and staining, keeping the frames looking cleaner between deep cleans or replacements.

• High contrast helps spot brood, eggs, and brood pattern issues quickly.
• Black foundation hides staining and wear for longer visual life.
• UV-stable plastic reduces premature discoloration from sun exposure.

How durable and easy to use are the frames?

MayBee frames use pine that is precision-polished on all sides to reduce snagging and ensure straight assembly. The combination of rigid plastic foundation and solid wood frame keeps comb straight under honey weight and during handling, while the pre-dipped wax lowers the chance of foundation rejection.

• Pinewood frame with smooth sanding for easy assembly and handling.
• Rigid foundation resists sagging when laden with honey.
• Unassembled pack lets you build exactly the number of frames you need.

Who is this for? These MayBee medium super frames are intended for backyard beekeepers, new apiarists, and small-scale commercial operators who want ready-to-use frames that speed comb building and simplify inspections. They suit anyone using standard medium supers who prefers the reliability of a wood frame combined with beeswax-coated plastic foundation for consistent comb draw and cleaner visual checks.
