GALVANISED STEEL SHEET

PER BOX: SOLD SINGLY

Frame spacer bar in 0.8 mm galvanised steel, with the notches punched at a constant pitch. It is fixed to both end walls of the box and holds each frame in place, in nucs as much as in full hives.

With nothing to separate them, frames close up, get propolised together and shift on every move. It is sold singly: a box needs two.

01 · SOLD SINGLY

Two per box, one at each end

The price is per bar, not per pair, even if two appear in the photo. To space the frames of a box you need one at each end wall, facing each other, so that every frame rests by both lugs in the same notch. They are nailed or screwed flush with the rebate the frames sit on. It arrives with the oil of the galvanised sheet on it: a wipe with a rag before fitting and it is ready.

02 · WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE

By number of frames and by top-bar width

There are 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 frame versions: the size is chosen by the frames the box takes, not by the hive format. And there are two notch widths according to the frame top bar: 25 mm, which is almost the whole range, and 30 mm, which exists only in the 8-frame version. That is the figure to check before ordering: with 30 mm top bars and a 25 mm bar you have to file the lugs one by one.

03 · WHAT SPACING IT SETS

35 mm centre to centre, the usual pitch

The arithmetic comes from the sizes themselves: the five-frame bar is 190 mm and the six-frame one 225 — 35 mm per frame. That is the standard Langstroth and Dadant pitch: around 25 mm of comb plus the bee space left between one and the next. Hold that pitch and the combs come out even, they do not weld to each other, and a frame lifts out of the super without tearing wax off its neighbour. For hives of non-standard size, measure the inside of the box before choosing.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

Supplied singly, without fixings. Choose the version by the number of frames and by the top bar of your frames.

✓ FITS	Frames with a 25 mm top bar in every size, and 30 mm in the 8-frame version.
✕ DOESN’T FIT	Non-standard hives such as the Warré: there is no specific version and the box has to be measured.
⚠ NOT INCLUDED	Neither the frames nor the fixings. And remember a box needs two bars.
