Abstract: Through the years honeycomb frames have been pulled from the hive during inspection and placed on a frame perch available from a supplier. This frame perch is directly attached to the hive body that is being inspected. If the beekeeper does not have a perch the honeycomb frame is placed on the ground. Neither of these methods is practical for the hobby beekeeper with two or more hives. Our invention aids the beekeeper by providing a convenient place to temporarily hold honey frames that are being inspected without the hassle of moving the “frame perch” from one hive to another. Our frame holder would be located to the rear of the hive in order service multiple hives.

Abstract: Through the years handling/transporting framed honey bee combs has been for the most part leaving them in the hive box that was taken off the main colony. This method is used by commercial beekeepers that hive hundreds maybe thousands of colonies. Their object is to produce large quantities of bulk honey for mass distribution. The vast majority of beekeepers around the world are backyard hobbyist that maintain a small number of colonies. This invention is targeted for that group. This invention would benefit beekeeping hobbist to maintain a uniform organized safe and clean method of storing honey frames throughout their beekeeping operation.
