The frames are made from food grade virgin ABS, making them both sturdy and light weight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Frame's patented design improves the beekeeping experience by overcoming all the shortcomings of the current wooden and plastic frames. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe size of this frame is (9 1\/8\") Langstroth deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Foundation Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Frames are available with or without foundations. Unlike the unibody frames with foundations, you can choose to have the foundation of your favorite supplier, and wax level. The foundations are installed by popping them in like you would in a wooden frame. The patented design enables the foundation to get in easier while making it harder to pop out of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Hive Beetle Hideout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost plastic frames in the market have indents in the periphery that are excellent hiding spots for small hive beetles which are devastating the colonies. Core Frames do not have any hiding spots for small hive beetles, so your colony can chase them out easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh Speed Extraction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Frame design enables the plastic foundation to be held in the frame, even at higher speeds in the extractor.

This enables easier splitting of the frames using a hive tool. Less jerky motion will also not aggravate the bees. The smooth plastic used in CoreFrames also enable the frame to slide easier in the hive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSturdy Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Frames are engineered to withstand impact. They're overengineered and use the strongest food grade plastic material. You can use your hive tool on them worry free, and they won't break when you drop them, or put them on extractors. You will never be left holding the top bar while the rest of the frame is on the ground :)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLong Lasting \u0026amp; Recycleable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Frames\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewill outlast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe wooden frames.
