Hive frame
A hive frame is a structural element in a beehive that holds the honeycomb or brood comb within the hive body (or "super"). The hive frame is a key part of the modern "movable" hive since it can be removed in order to inspect the bees for disease or to extract the excess honey.
==History==
One of first hive frames was devised by Petro Prokopovych in 1814.〔(Petro Prokopovych ) Beekeeping in Ukraine, accessed May 2011〕〔(20 Facts on Beekeeping in Ukraine ) Apimondia 2013, accessed May 2011〕 However the distance between frames was too big, and the frame lay on supporting strips of wood. As a result, the frames were cross-attached by burr comb and propolized to the supporting strips and were difficult to remove. In Prokopovych's design, the frames were placed only in the honey chamber. In the brood chamber, the bees built the combs in free style.
Jan Dzierzon described the correct distance between combs in the brood chamber as 1½ inches from the center of one bar to the center of the next. In 1848, Dzierzon introduced grooves into the hive's side walls replacing the strips of wood to hang top bars. The grooves were 8 mm apart and met the distance requirements for a bee space.
August von Berlepsch (May 1852) in Thuringia and L. L. Langstroth (October 1852) in the United States also designed movable frame hives. Today, the Langstroth hive is the most common design.
