Infinity Frame
$25.00 – $63.00
Durable, precision-molded frames designed to support natural bee behaviors and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies. The frames include a heavy wax coating; no extra wax needed. Choose from:
- 4.9mm: “Small cell” frames that more closely resemble natural comb; may aid in varroa control and increase bee density*.
- 5.4mm: Often referred to as “standard”, is compatible with all standard beekeeping equipment on the market today; both at the hobbyist and commercial level*.
- 6.6mm: Designed for drone production and IPM as “varroa magnets”; also excellent for honey supers when placed above a queen excluder*.
- *See full description below
All sizes are suitable for use in both brood and honey super chambers (unless noted), making Infinity Frames a versatile choice for any beekeeping strategy.

4.9mm
4.9mm cell size, often referred to as “small cell” or “natural cell” size
Closer resembles the cell sizing of wild bees found in nature
Thought to help aid in the reduction of varroa mites when used in conjunction with an IPM methodology of pest management and use of 6.6mm cells frames as “varroa magnets”
Able to get more bees on a single frame, thereby getting more bees in the same size hive as compared to larger cell sizes
These can be used in both brood and honey super chambers
5.4mm
5.4mm cell size, often referred to as “standard”, is the most common size in use today by both hobbyists and commercial beekeepers alike
Although a larger cell size than what’s found in nature, it has been the industry standard for generation now in the U.S. for various reasons
Most nucs and equipment is sold with this cell size as standard unless specified otherise
These can be used in both brood and honey super chambers
6.6mm
6.6mm cell size, often referred to as “drone frames”, only produces drones due to the larger drone bee cell size
This is NOT for producing worker bees in the brood chamber
Use them to create extra drones in mating yards and as “varroa magnets” to draw varroa for IPM management methods
Make excellent honey super frames for increased honey holding capacity and easier extracting IF YOU KEEP THEM ABOVE A QUEEN EXCLUDER and don’t let the queen lay brood in them
