Wire Tensioner for Langstroth Beehive Frames

Frame tensioner for preparing beehive frames quickly, easily, and uniformly. A practical tool for beekeepers who need to position and tension the wire before attaching the foundation sheet.

This beekeeping frame tensioner allows for more controlled wire work, ensuring the wire is securely fastened and at the correct tension. It is especially useful for mounting new frames, replacing old frames, or preparing equipment before the season.

It features a wire spool holder and a guiding system to facilitate threading the wire through the frame. Once in place, the tension is achieved using the crank, leaving the frame ready for inserting or gluing the wax sheet.

• It facilitates the wiring of beehive frames in a faster and more orderly manner.
• It helps to achieve a more uniform wire tension.
• It reduces manual labor compared to traditional fencing.
• Very useful for beekeepers who regularly prepare several frames.
• It allows you to prepare the frames for placing the stamped wax .
• Robust and easy-to-use tool for the beekeeping workshop.

Proper wire tension is important to ensure the wax foundation remains stable within the frame and better withstands the bees' work, the weight of the honey, and handling during extraction. A well-wired frame helps prevent wax deformation and breakage.

Recommended for beekeepers who make, repair or prepare their own frames, both in professional operations and in small apiaries where a cleaner and more regular finish is sought.

Instructional usage guidelines:

• Place the wire reel in the holder.
• Pass the wire through the guides and holes of the frame.
