I Can’t Believe I’ve Only Just Discovered These Beehive Frames!

[@WalkerBeeHoney]

You need to change your smoke alarm battery 😂

[@jasonlewis8233]

Please!

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Yes!! 😅

[@Delibro]

And let your wife in 😀😂

[@DenbeeHoney]

Get yourself a “Filming in progress, Do Not Disturb” sign mate. Great video as always thankyou

[@SouthSaxon1]

I just checked all my smoke alarms thinking it was me , doh

[@ianwatkins3002]

I wire my Langstroth brood frames with the wire going horizontally. Pretty well bulletproof. When I've used pre-wired foundation I find the wax is nowhere near as robust and has a bit of a tendency to come out at the bottom, particularly if the bees prefer a traverse gap at the bottom of the comb. I much prefer wired frames, except in shallow Langstroth supers where I don't wire at all. Mediums I use wired frames.

[@ugobono9783]

Hi, you can just connect the poles one time to the 2 ends of metal rope (usually there are nails there). And if you have the foundation non well flat you can put during the job over the frame a wood plank or somtingh flat with certain weight. BR Ugo

Time saver Gruff 😊

[@Cubrider]

Just done a quick calculation and inc p+p these are about £33 delivered for 10 where as thornes are £35 plus p+p and on ebay for second frames plus wired wax its about £28 and you still have to build both those up and to clean and change wax is a pain on normal frames so id say this i a no brainer. Can you just re heat the wire till the old comb drops out then warm new foundation in? I think that would be a huge selling point youve missed if im right.

[@Delibro]

You'r right, you can de-wax old wax with this method.

[@allanmcpeake7650]

If you make a jig for the frame, you could have the connectors already connected and just have a power button your press, then when you let off it stops the connections, then its drop in press button take the frame out, like 2 or 3 seconds per frame. To explain how you connected the pos and neg, top and bottom, you just make a wood holder the same size as the frame, then put metal contacts top and bottom at opposite ends of the frame, then have a button on the positive side so drop in the frame press the button its done, next

[@Delibro]

Oh that's such a good idea :)) So its basically 4 seconds work per frame :)

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Great idea!

[@madmikesmountianmadness1917]

Dude I am Welsh and even I did not understand your introduction there 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit .I've watched 4 times now and still have no idea

[@gwenyngruffydd]

I need to talk slower!! 😅😅

@gwenyngruffydd ha ha ha no not Necessarily, just means your properly Welsh lol 👍

@@madmikesmountianmadness1917 What should I say as a German then? 😀

[@LauraDelColBrown]

I've been buying pre-built frames with foundation in since I got my first hive last year. I'm dyspraxic so could never hope to assemble them myself.

[@paulf4424]

And there handy if you're doing cut outs. Cut out a section, two elastic bands. Job done.

[@ninoalgieri2704]

In Italy all the frames are made this way, so much easier.

[@DiverPeg]

Good frames

[@willvandermerwe9142]

Do they do them in 14x12?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Yes….but we don’t stock them

[@HodiDehnavi]

Hi, I have a really bad tempered Hive and i am going to get rid of the Queen. if when i get rid of the queen, can i introduce a frame with a not fully capped queen cell at the same time? I will be greatful for any advice. Regards

[@gwenyngruffydd]

A frame of eggs will be enough from another hive. But there needs to be no original eggs in the hive to be sure they use the new frame

[@HodiDehnavi]

I suppose it will be down to the cost of these compared to the traditional ones. Time saved is of course worth something but if you have the time, and room for some extra cash in your pocket, then some might prefer that.

[@petermurphy8480]

Hi Gruff lad, can you get these frames and foundation for langstroth, yep I like the idea it will save a lot of time.

[@Delibro]

If I heard correctly, he has already.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Yes 😊👍🏻

[@chrismatthewsflyfishing7724]

I have tried them but I found the Hoffman size (1 3/8") seemed to vary ?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

These are pretty good

[@anthonypearmann6957]

This is the usual way to do things here in Germany, can’t understand why the u.k. hasn’t caught on to it yet 😂

[@gwenyngruffydd]

We’re catching on now!! 😂

[@philreeves1178]

Why don’t you do it at either end of the wire to do them all at once ?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Thats a good point. Thats how we do it know. First year were using these frames. Learning as we go

[@Darren_Nicola]

Glad you got rid of that burglar 😂,

[@metalheadz07]

Received these today love the idea however my car charger didn’t work no idea why 🤷‍♂️

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Maybe it’s a posh one with a safety feature?

[@metalheadz07]

@@gwenyngruffydd thank you for replying yes I been researching this and that seems the case so will try another way

[@yonicarmel789]

14 x 12 ?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Unfortunately no 😅

[@robtalliss]

That was a Laurence click bait title!! When you need to change foundation do you have to cut and replace the wires or melt the foundation out?

[@ianwatkins3002]

Melt the wax out or just strip it off from around the wire with a knife.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Just put them in the steam melter and reuse 😊

[@greghamilton889]

Haha, Griff's not as bad as bmh for clickbait titles.

[@ianwatkins3002]

@@greghamilton889 I've stopped watching BMH videos because his clickbait titles give you no idea what the video is about. Life is too short to spend time watching stuff that you realise is of no interest after about 5 minutes.

[@Cubrider]

So whats the price difference.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

I’m not sure off the top of my head but their on the website now 😊

[@williamsummers6438]

The ZEST plastic (forever) frame is far superior and no foundation is needed. It hangs perfectly vertical and is self spacing
