The preset frame size (6-1\/4\" x 19\" x 1-3\/8\") matches common medium super boxes and the beeswax coating encourages worker bees to draw comb faster while using a food-safe base that resists contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these frames fit into my existing hive setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese frames are built to standard medium super dimensions so they drop into most 8- or 10-frame Langstroth medium boxes without trimming.
