Plastic Frame - (35mm, Black) (BRF) Uncoated

Beetle Resistant Frame (BRF)

The Beetle Resistant Frame (BRF) is engineered to offer strength, longevity, and increased productivity—especially for beekeepers dealing with the persistent small hive beetle.

Key Features:

• Small Hive Beetle Defense: The BRF features integrated bee cells in the top, side, and bottom bars. These specially designed cells allow bees to chase out small hive beetles, preventing them from hiding or nesting in the frame. Additionally, these cells provide storage for pollen and honey, which further reduces beetle hiding spots and boosts hive productivity.

• Enhanced Durability: Designed for tough environments, the BRF is reinforced to withstand the stresses of beekeeping. Beekeepers in regions like Australia have faced unique challenges, such as transporting heavy supers over long distances and rough terrain. The BRF is designed to prevent frame breakage and resist damage, even under extreme conditions. Its extra-stiff construction ensures a strong, long-lasting product.

• Long-Term Performance: Unlike wooden frames that can rot or be damaged by termites, the plastic construction of the BRF ensures 5 to 10 years of solid performance. This makes it a cost-effective and durable alternative to traditional wooden frames.

• Increased Surface Area: The BRF includes 400 more cells than a standard frame, increasing the surface area by 5%. This means more space for bees to store honey and pollen, enhancing the productivity of your hive.

• Coated or Uncoated: Choose between a pre-coated frame with pure beeswax or an uncoated frame, ready for you to add your own beeswax coating.

Specifications:

• Carton Size: 50 frames
• Pallet Size: 800 frames (16 cartons per pallet)

The Beetle Resistant Frame (BRF) is the ultimate solution for beekeepers facing challenges from small hive beetles. Offering exceptional durability, cost-efficiency, and increased productivity, the BRF is an excellent investment for the long-term health and success of your hive.
