6 1/4″ Green Plastic Drone Comb

Our single-piece plastic frame and foundation are crafted with a larger cell size to encourage bees to create drone comb. To support your Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for Varroa mites, insert one drone frame into each hive.

Once the bees have capped the drone cells, remove the frame and seal it in a plastic bag before placing it in the freezer overnight. After freezing, allow the frame to return to room temperature. Use a capping scratcher to open the cells, then return the frame to the hive so worker bees can clean out the dead drones and mites. Continue this process as the bees refill and cap the cells again.
