Woodenware: the individual components of a beehive
The term woodenware refers to the individual components of a bee hive. While these have traditionally been made from wood, today a variety of bee hives are available made from plastic and even polystyrene foam.
The most important components of woodenware include the hive body, frames, and if desired, foundation.
Typical hive configurations include 8-frame and 10-frame in either shallow, medium, or deep frame sizes.
