The full review

These Dadant medium wooden frames come ten to a pack, giving beekeepers a reliable and economical way to expand or replace frames within their hive bodies. Built to Dadant specifications, each frame is milled from quality wood that resists warping and holds up well under the weight of comb, honey, and brood. The dimensions are designed to fit standard Dadant medium supers precisely, ensuring proper bee space is maintained throughout the hive so that bees can draw comb efficiently without producing excess burr comb or propolis buildup between frames.

Each frame features grooved or wedge top bars depending on the style ordered, along with predrilled holes for wiring foundation securely in place. This construction supports the weight of drawn comb during extraction and inspection, reducing the likelihood of breakage when frames are lifted, tilted, or spun in an extractor. The bottom bars are similarly fitted to accept foundation sheets snugly, keeping wax sheets straight and centered so bees build even, usable comb across the entire frame rather than crooked or cross-combed sections that complicate hive management.

Assembly is straightforward, with parts cut for tight-fitting joints that beekeepers can nail or glue together quickly using basic tools. Because the frames arrive unassembled and unwaxed, beekeepers have full control over foundation choice, whether that means wired wax foundation, plastic foundation, or foundationless setups for natural comb building. This pack of ten mediums works well for beekeepers managing multiple hives, replacing old or damaged frames, or expanding honey supers ahead of a nectar flow, offering a practical, hive-ready solution that integrates seamlessly with standard Dadant equipment already in use.
