Durable Stainless Steel Construction
The wire is made from stainless steel, providing a durable and rust-resistant option for beekeeping frame assembly. Stainless steel is well suited to hive equipment where the wire may be exposed to moisture and changing conditions.
Its combination of strength and flexibility also makes it practical to work with when installing and tensioning wire through wooden frames.
250 g Roll for Multiple Frames
Each roll contains 250 grams of wire, providing a convenient quantity for preparing multiple wired frames. The roll format makes it easy to cut the required length for each frame during assembly or maintenance.
It is suitable for beekeepers who regularly build frames or need replacement wire for existing hive equipment.
0.5 mm Wire Diameter
The wire has a 0.5 mm diameter, providing a useful balance between strength and flexibility for standard frame-wiring applications.
Once properly tensioned, the wire helps support beeswax foundation and provides additional stability when frames are handled or placed through honey extraction.

Helps Keep Honeycomb Secure
Wired frames provide additional support for beeswax foundation and help reduce the chance of comb becoming damaged during handling. Properly tensioned frame wire is especially important when frames are being transported, inspected or placed in an extractor.
The wire can be used alongside eyelets, frame crimpers, wiring benches and wire embedders as part of a complete frame-preparation setup.
Easy to Store and Handle
The wire is supplied as a 250 g roll, making it straightforward to store with your other frame-building supplies. The silver stainless steel wire can be cut to the required length as you work through your frame assembly tasks.
