Product Overview
Triple Wax Coated Plastic Frames - Pierco
Plastic one piece frames have three times as heavy coating of wax which promotes a higher acceptance rate with bees compared to other standard wax coated plastic frames. We have found these to be the best wax coated frames in the industry! They have a strong scent of wax, which helps with acceptance. The black frames make it easy to find out if your queen is alive and laying well: it is easy to see the small white eggs against the black background, so you don't have to see your queen to know that you have one. It also makes it easier to tell if you have a drone layer. The yellow frames are more like natural beeswax.
Pierco one piece plastic frames have a strong ear configuration to prevent breakage and are built to be sturdier, flatter and stiffer than a standard plastic frame. No assembly is required - just take the frames out of the box and place directly into the bee hive! Made with food grade BPA free plastic, these frames are super durable and are compatible with manual and automatic uncapping equipment.
Please note: The difference in colors has nothing to do with the bees acceptance; it all has to do with the preference of each beekeeper. The black frames make it easy to find out if your queen is alive and laying well: it is easy to see the small white eggs against the black background, so you don't have to see your queen to know that you have one. It also makes it easier to tell if you have a drone layer. Yellow frames are more like actual beeswax.
