Frame Wire – 26 Gauge Tinned Steel

Keep your wax foundation steady and your frames strong with our extra-thin, 26 gauge (.478 mm) steel frame wire. Designed to prevent sagging and shifting, this fine wire supports comb building and keeps frames from warping—especially under the weight of honey during extraction.

Unlike fishing line or picture-hanging wire, steel frame wire resists chewing and holds up over time. Use with eyelets to protect your frame’s side bars, and pair with a Spur Embedder tool to press the wire neatly into your foundation for a tight, professional fit.

Tips for Use:

• Thread wire through pre-drilled holes in a zig-zag or straight pattern
• Keep wire taut, but avoid over-tightening
• Use gloves for safety and precision
• Secure ends with pliers and clip excess

Reliable, reusable, and made for real beekeeping work.
