WSP Beehive Frames – Assembled, Wired and Waxed

Prepare WSP boxes without building, wiring and embedding every frame yourself. These hive-ready WSP beehive frames from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies arrive fully assembled with locally made Australian beeswax foundation already installed.

The timber components are glued and nailed, the wire is fitted, and the foundation is embedded before the frame reaches your apiary. Consequently, you can reduce workshop preparation and focus on placing the completed equipment into compatible hive boxes.

New Zealand Pine with Australian Beeswax

Each frame is made from plantation-grown New Zealand radiata pine. The lightweight timber is practical during hive inspections, while the locally manufactured foundation uses beeswax sourced from trusted Australian suppliers.

The current product page states that the complete assembly process includes gluing, nailing, wiring and embedding the frame and foundation together.

Listed Frame Measurements

The product page provides the following assembled dimensions:

• Top bar: 480 × 25 × 16mm
• Top-bar groove: 6mm deep and 4mm wide
• Bottom bar: 448 × 21.5 × 10mm
• End bar: 180mm long and 10mm thick
• Timber: Plantation-grown New Zealand radiata pine

These measurements should be checked against your WSP hive boxes before ordering.

Ready for Brood or Honey Management

WSP frames, also called three-quarter frames, sit between Ideal and Full Depth equipment in height. They may be used in compatible WSP boxes according to the beekeeper’s brood or honey-super configuration.

Because the foundation is already installed, check each frame after delivery and before adding it to the hive. Confirm that the wax remains securely embedded and that the timber joints have not been damaged during transit.

Cold-Weather Shipping Notice

Beeswax becomes more brittle as temperatures fall. The product page warns that foundation may crack during transport when local temperatures are below approximately 16°C.

Customers in colder locations may prefer to purchase wired frames and foundation separately if transit damage is a concern.

Reduce Frame-Assembly Work

These ready-made frames are suitable for hobby beekeepers preparing one box as well as commercial apiaries requiring consistent equipment in larger quantities.
