Detailed Description The Plastic Frame Spacer – 7 Frame is an easy-to-use tool that helps you space seven frames evenly inside an 8-frame honey box. Many beekeepers prefer this method because the wider spacing encourages bees to draw deeper, more even comb, making uncapping smoother and faster during honey harvest. This technique can also lead to higher overall honey yields, since the bees draw each comb out further compared to running all eight frames. This tool can also be used in the brood box for beekeepers who choose to run seven frames there as well. Because this spacing method works best after the comb has already been drawn, it is not recommended for new, undrawn foundation, as bees may build unevenly. The spacer fits neatly in your beekeeping toolbox and can be used across all your hives without the need to install permanent spacers. For 10-frame equipment, see our 9 Frame Spacer, which functions the same way for larger boxes. See more of our Equipment Accessories See our entire collection of beekeeping Supplies
