Will these frames work with my exiting frames? -Yes. Infinity Frames are the same outer dimensions as a standard wood or plastic frame. They can be intermixed with anything you have.
Are these frames food grade safe? -Yes. All of our products are made with FDA approved food grade materials and organic certified 100% natural beeswax.
How long will these Infinity Frames last? - With regular standard use, our frames are built to last as long as you want to use them. They are 100% solid plastic, UV stable, and can easily be cleaned and reused again and again.
Are the plastic frames going to hurt the food stored inside of them? -No. All of our materials are USDA food grade compliant. They are safe to use with food, including the honey and pollen produced in the hive.
What are the holes in the frames for? -These patented pathways are designed to give the bees easier access to moving from frame to frame; especially during cold weather when it can be difficult for a small group of bees to break cluster to move to more food. The bees can filter through the openings to move to the other side without actually breaking up the cluster. Not all bees will use these openings, every hive is different; but the openings are there if they want them.
What are they made out of? -All of our products are made out of high temperature, ABS plastic, that is both USDA certified food grade, as well as being UV stable also. We make everything ourselves here in house, so we can assure that is the material being used always.
How do you clean the frames off when it's time to remove the old wax? -You can clean by scraping the old wax off, dipping in boiling water, steaming, placing in a solar melter, etc. They will not warp of bow with these processes. Once you have the old wax removed, you simply melt new wax and roll/brush it back on to your thickness preference.
Will these frames fit in wood boxes only, or can they go in poly hives and plastic ones as well? -They will fit all standard langstroth boxes as the outer dimensions are the same as a typical wooden frame.
