Beekeeping Lessons - Traditional Frame Making: Part 2 Cross Wiring the Frames

This is part two of the three part series on frame construction. This video attempts to explain how to effectively cross wire your frames so that they provide maximum structural support for the foundation and eventually the honeycomb. Using this method one never has to fear putting the comb in the extractor so long as all cells are uncapped (which is always the reason a beeswax frame or plastic frame...properly constructed, fails).

If anyone is interested the link below is to Kelley Bees, formerly Walter T. Kelley Company. This is where I purchase 100% of my frames. The frames used in this series were the SGX series frames and pure beeswax foundation.

If you are interested in learning more about beekeeping, maybe thinking about becoming a beekeeper yourself...here is a good value on a couple of books (with a few free ones) that you can download and see if you want to try beekeeping!
