9-Frame Plastic Spacer - Perfect Frame Spacing Every Time Achieve consistent, perfect frame spacing with this practical plastic frame spacer. Designed to space 9 frames evenly in a 10-frame super, this tool eliminates guesswork, prevents cross-combing, and helps bees build thicker, more uniform comb that's easier to uncap and extract. Key Features: Accurate Spacing: Precisely spaces 9 frames in a 10-frame super for optimal bee space Prevents Cross-Combing: Proper spacing eliminates burr comb and cross-combing between frames Durable Plastic: Long-lasting plastic construction won't warp or deteriorate Time-Saving: No more measuring or adjusting individual frames Easy to Use: Simply place in super and position frames against it Compact Size: 41 x 9 cm (16" x 3.5") Why Use 9 Frames Instead of 10: Thicker Comb: Bees build deeper comb on 9 frames, making uncapping easier Easier Extraction: Thicker comb is simpler to uncap and extract cleanly Better Honey Yield: Deeper cells can hold more honey per frame Reduced Burr Comb: Proper spacing minimizes unwanted comb between frames Easier Frame Removal: Extra space makes frames easier to pry out during inspections Less Bee Crushing: More space between frames means fewer bees crushed during manipulations How It Works: Place the frame spacer in your super, then position your 9 frames against it. The spacer ensures each frame is positioned at the perfect distance from its neighbors, creating the ideal bee space that prevents cross-combing while encouraging bees to build thicker, more uniform comb. Benefits of Consistent Spacing: No Cross-Combing: Frames stay properly separated, eliminating comb built between frames Uniform Comb: Bees build consistent comb depth across all frames Faster Setup: Space frames quickly without measuring or adjusting Professional Results: Achieve the same consistent spacing commercial beekeepers use Easier Inspections: Properly spaced frames are easier to remove and replace Specifications: Material: Durable plastic Dimensions: 41 x 9 cm (16" x 3.5") Function: Spaces 9 frames in 10-frame supers Compatibility: 10-frame Langstroth supers (deep, medium, or shallow) Weight: 0.5 lbs How to Use: Place the frame spacer in your empty super Position it at one end of the super Place your 9 frames in the super, pushing them against the spacer Frames will be evenly spaced with proper bee space between them Remove spacer or leave in place (some beekeepers leave it in) Perfect For: Honey supers where you want thicker, easier-to-extract comb Beekeepers who extract their own honey Anyone tired of dealing with cross-combing and burr comb Beekeepers wanting consistent, professional frame spacing Saving time during hive assembly and frame installation Both hobbyist and commercial beekeeping operations Why Beekeepers Love 9-Frame Spacing: Uncapping is faster and cleaner with thicker comb Extraction is more efficient with deeper cells Less wax waste during uncapping Frames are easier to handle during inspections Reduced propolis between frames More honey per frame despite using fewer frames Common Uses: Honey Supers: Most popular use - creates ideal comb for extraction Medium Supers: Works great in medium-depth honey supers Deep Supers: Can be used in deep supers for honey production Consistent Spacing: Any situation where uniform frame spacing is desired Advantages Over Manual Spacing: Faster: No measuring or adjusting individual frames More Accurate: Consistent spacing every time Repeatable: Same perfect spacing in every super Foolproof: Eliminates spacing errors and guesswork Professional Quality: Results match commercial beekeeping standards Maintenance: Clean off propolis and wax after use Store with your beekeeping equipment Plastic construction requires no special care Won't warp, rust, or deteriorate like metal or wood spacers Space frames like a pro!
