The “New” Hogg Halfcomb Frame offers a simple and easy way to make premium comb honey using the honey supers you already have on your Langstroth hive. Each frame holds 8 Hogg Square cassettes and includes the lids. During a strong honey flow, simply insert one or several Halfcomb frames into the center of a honey super. Fill the remaining space with your honey frames, and let the bees do the rest.  

Benefits:

• Standard Boxes - 6-5/8” (Medium) boxes may be used. Make comb honey in any type of box: a nuc, an 8 or 10 frame super, a Lyson hive, or other Langstroth hive system.

• Ready to Use - Cassettes are pre-installed into the frame back-to-back, meaning the bees only have access to the comb area and very little cleaning is needed.

• Easy to Process - Remove the cassettes and install the covers. No cutting or draining; the bees make comb in the cassette for you.

• Reusable Frame - Easy to refill with new cassettes and use again.

• Highly lucrative product for beekeepers to increase revenue streams.

How it works:

• The frame consists of two halves that each contain 4 square cassettes. The two halves of the frame are held together by built-in pins, plus a piece of tape if desired.

• The frame is inserted into the hive. It takes the place of two standard Langstroth frames.

• After the bees build and fill the comb, the frame is removed. The two halves are disassembled, and then the combs are removed with a suction cup tool.

• The lids are then installed on the combs, and held in place with Halfcomb labels.

• The combs should be placed in the freezer to eliminate any potential wax moth larvae.

•  Refill the frame with new cassettes to use again.
