  • Patent number: 4185343
    Abstract: An improved frame section which is adapted to be mounted in a beehive in abutting relationship with a plurality of similar frame sections for making round comb honey. A plurality of circular openings are formed by cylindrical walls in each of the frame sections. A plurality of cylindrically shaped, horizontally extending chambers or "rounds" are formed by abutting pairs of the cylindrical walls of adjacent frame sections. The cylindrical frame walls each have a pair of arcuate zones of reduced axial lengths with respect to a second pair of intervening arcuate zones of greater axial lengths. The smaller axial length zones form a series of top and bottom openings along the frames when assembled, to provide access openings for the bees to the interior chambers. A ring is telescopically seated within each of the frame openings to form the sidewalls of a container for the formed combs.
