Shallow Hogg Halfcomb Frame

Now, one of the best comb honey systems has become even easier. The “New” Hogg Halfcomb Frame offers a simple and easy way to make premium comb honey using the honey supers you already have. Each frame holds eight 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. Let the bees do the rest.

Benefits:

• Standard Boxes - 5-11/16” (Shallow) 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 (not included. See additional images for reference. Similar item available at hardware stores.)
• 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.
