WSP Single-Groove Unassembled Timber Frame

Prepare three-quarter-depth hive equipment economically with WSP Single-Groove DIY Frames from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

WSP frames sit between Full Depth and Ideal sizes, giving beekeepers a useful middle option for honey supers where more capacity is wanted without the full weight of a deep box.

These frames arrive flat packed for DIY assembly.

New Zealand Radiata Pine Construction

Each frame is manufactured from plantation-grown New Zealand radiata pine and includes:

  • One top bar
  • One bottom bar
  • Two end bars

The side bars contain two holes for frame preparation.

The parts need to be assembled before use, making this a straightforward option for beekeepers who enjoy workshop preparation or want to build larger numbers of frames economically.

WSP Is Also Known as Three-Quarter

WSP frames are commonly referred to as three-quarter frames.

They should be matched to WSP hive boxes rather than Full Depth or Ideal equipment.

Keeping frame depth consistent with the box ensures appropriate bee space and helps prevent irregular comb construction between mismatched components.

Useful for Honey Supers

A WSP honey super provides more comb area than an Ideal box while generally remaining lighter than a Full Depth super when filled.

That middle ground makes WSP equipment a popular choice for beekeepers balancing honey capacity with lifting comfort.

Preparing spare frames ahead of the nectar flow means an additional WSP super can be put into service without last-minute assembly.

Commercial Quantities Available

For apiaries that require larger batches of WSP frames, commercial quantities can be discussed directly with Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

This can be useful for sideliners and larger operations preparing equipment in bulk.

Choose WSP Single-Groove DIY Frames when you want a traditional timber frame that you can assemble and prepare yourself.
