Brass Eyelets are small brass grommets that reinforce the wiring holes in wooden beehive frame sidebars. Pressed into the pre-drilled holes of wedge top and split bottom frames, they give cross-wires a smooth metal surface to rest against, preventing the wire from cutting into the wood and helping hold even tension across wax foundation.
