    Beekeeping involves a wide variety of regular bee equipment maintenance tasks such as maintaining honey bee frames, making new beehive frames, wiring frames, cleaning propolis and beeswax, or replacing beeswax foundations. This needs to be done throughout the beekeeping season, but during the off season, typically in late autumn, winter and early spring, beekeepers get started with building new or replacement beehives, honey supers, and the all important honey bee frames. We have several videos on how to build a strong and long lasting timber frame from scratch, in great detail, so skip through as required:

    This video covers wiring a Langstroth style honey bee frame, without a custom built bee wiring or framing rig. A frame wiring rig is an excellent tool to have, but realistically, unless you are a high volume beekeeper that has the need to manufacture large volumes of honey frames on a regular basis, a rig is usually not required. Our video shows you the tools required, and the step by step process close up. It is not the best way or the only way, but a way that works for us, is cheap, fast and very efficient. As a beekeeper, using this method, you are not tied to a bee workshop as the tools are light, and little space is required. We manage to wire a frame in 2-3 minutes.

    Have a great beekeeping day!

    To tension the wire more easily, use a clamp across the vertical stands of the frame. Tighten the clamp untill the stands are slightly bowed. Simple hand tighten the wire and secure. Release the clamp and the stands will apply more tension.

    Thanks, been assembling frames with ease, but the wiring has been challenging in relation to getting that "guitar chord" sound. Made a good jig, but your idea of using the small screw driver is exactly what I needed to see, instead of all the complicated ways I was using. Cheers!

    Nice to see the nails in your frames are actually holding the weight stress points on the frames. Good wire tips. Do you use a crimping tool before adding foundation?

    what size tacks do you use? I tried and like your technique but found the tacks I used to nail in the edge for the wire terminations split the side of the frame so had to go back to using staples. My tacks are 12x1.6mm 100g, although no idea what I'll use 220 of them for now but will have to find smaller ones but if you can provide size you use would be appreciated.

  • @davidlee1969
    @davidlee1969 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Only good idea over using a wiring jig was sticking the small screw driver in the hole to hold the tension while doing the next row. Also staples are quicker, less fiddle and cheaper than eyelets.

      Don Lopez I’ve done some frames without the eyelets, however you can’t get the tension tight with out them, or the wire cuts into the wooden frame. If you don’t like wiring go with plastics foundations

    You can build a quick jig in not much more time than it takes to watch this video and wire 10 frames this way. By the time you got to 20 frames wired you would be ahead with a jig.

    Very helpful. question. Why Wire? Why not plastic fish line? I've see a lot of videos where the queen will not lay over wire support? Can you share your thoughts on why one would use wire over fish line. just want to learn.

      @billswift6757 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I made up dozens of spare frames late last year which I'm hoping the bees will draw out themselves, and I thought I'd wire them up with fishing line to give the comb some support, but it's gone loose already. I think I'll just remove it all and let the bees do what they do.

      To support foundation, comb, brood. With out wire it could collapse, specially if loaded with heavy honey.

      Some people use vertical wires too. I think the bamboo sticks are better for vertical and wire installed horizontally. I will use that combination for my frames.

    Way too slow! Stand the frame in a vice, much easier! Then clamp end to end, no mucking around keeping tension.
