For commercial beekeepers and equipment distributors, efficiency in the apiary is key to profitability. HONESTBEE is pleased to offer our Ergonomic Plastic Frame Spacer Tool, a handheld device designed to dramatically speed up hive inspections and ensure perfect frame alignment with a single, simple motion.
Product Overview
This innovative Frame Spacer is a handheld gauge, not an in-hive fixture, designed for the active beekeeper. It allows for the rapid and precise spacing of frames within the hive body. By simply pressing the tool down over the top bars, frames are instantly aligned to the correct bee space. This eliminates the tedious task of adjusting each frame by hand, saving valuable time and reducing disturbance to the colony.
Key Features and Professional Design
Engineered for performance and durability, this tool is a must-have for any large-scale beekeeping operation.
Ergonomic and Durable Construction
- Integrated Handle: The large, comfortable handle provides a secure grip, allowing for firm and controlled pressure. The textured, grid-pattern surface prevents slippage, even when wearing gloves.
- High-Strength Plastic: Molded from a robust, high-impact plastic, this Frame Spacer is lightweight yet exceptionally strong. It is designed to resist bending or breaking under regular use.
- High-Visibility Colors: Available in bright yellow, red, and blue, the tool is easy to spot in the apiary, reducing the chance of it being left behind.
Precision and Versatility
- Accurate Spacing Teeth: The "needles" or teeth are precisely engineered to fit between frame top bars, pushing them into a perfectly uniform position. This helps prevent the building of brace comb and ensures frames are easy to remove and inspect.
- Multiple Size Options: We understand that not all hive setups are the same. That's why we offer this tool in three essential configurations to match your specific needs:
- 7-Frame Model(Blue Color): 34.5 cm (13.58 in)for running 7 frames in a 8-frame box.
- 8-Frame Model(Yellow Color): 41 cm (16.14 in) for running 8 frames in a 10-frame box.
- 9-Frame Model(Red Color): 41 cm (16.14 in) for running 9 frames in a 10-frame box (ideal for honey supers).
Functional Details
The design includes specialized end prongs that help correctly position the first and last frames relative to the hive wall, ensuring a perfectly spaced set from end to end.
Advantages and Application Scenarios
This tool is a simple solution to a common beekeeping challenge, delivering significant operational benefits.
- Application: The primary use is during hive inspections. After removing, checking, and replacing frames, this tool is used to quickly reset the entire box to perfect spacing before closing the hive.
- Unmatched Efficiency: Reduce the time spent on each hive inspection. What once took minutes of manual adjustment can now be done in seconds. For commercial beekeepers with hundreds of hives, this time saving is substantial.
- Consistency Across the Apiary: Standardize all your hives with perfect spacing, leading to more predictable comb drawing, easier management, and healthier colonies.
- Gentle on Bees and Equipment: The tool helps prevent the accidental rolling and crushing of bees that can happen during manual frame adjustments. The smooth plastic is also gentle on your wooden frames.
Value for Commercial Beekeepers & Distributors
The HONESTBEE Handheld Frame Spacer is a high-value product for our wholesale partners.
- For Commercial Apiaries: This is a low-cost investment with a high return in labor savings. It improves workflow, reduces bee stress, and contributes to a more productive and organized apiary.
- For Beekeeping Distributors: This is a fast-moving, practical tool that appeals to beekeepers of all experience levels. Its various sizes and attractive price point make it an easy add-on sale and a valuable addition to any beekeeping supply catalog.
