2-Pack Stainless Beehive Frame Holders — Frame Perches for Beekeeping
Product description
Set contents: This listing provides a pair of stainless steel frame holders intended to hang on the side of a hive and hold removed frames during inspection or honey work.
Material and durability: Manufactured from stainless steel for impact and dent resistance. The metal tolerates high and low temperatures without losing its shape, so it keeps working through seasonal temperature swings.
Design and use: These frame perches are made to hang off the hive body and act as a temporary resting point for frames while you inspect or extract honey. They free both hands, making frame handling easier and safer.
Capacity and stability: Each perch can accommodate roughly three frames at once, giving you a stable place to set frames without needing an empty super or extra equipment.
Dimensions and weight: Each frame perch measures about 18.5 inches long by 4.92 inches wide and is lightweight at approximately 0.8 lb, making them easy to move and store when not in use.
Pros
- Durable stainless steel construction
- Holds about three frames securely
- Lightweight and compact for storage
Cons
- May not fit hives with very thick side walls
- Some units may have sharp edges out of the box
- Not as heavy-gauge metal as some premium brands
VerdictA practical, no-frills set of stainless frame holders that frees your hands during inspections and supports several frames securely. Built to resist dents and temperature extremes, these perches are lightweight and compact for convenient use and storage. They fit most standard wooden hives, though very thick-walled designs may not be compatible. Overall a useful, affordable tool for routine beekee

Works on standard hives
Performs well on regular wooden hives; won't fit Apimaye models with thicker side walls.

Decent quality for cost
The stainless steel is thinner than the Mann Lake grip I own, but these holders have performed reliably and were inexpensive.

Good value
Does the job for inspections and is a solid deal for the price.
-
Dawn McCullough 5/5
Sturdy and low-profile
Strong enough to hold three deep frames full of honey and the low hook profile lets you leave them hanging without creating a big gap between boxes.

Secure frame support
Essential for inspections. Hangs easily on the hive and holds frames securely while you work.

Sharp edges, works well
Needed quite a bit of sanding on the very sharp edges; once smoothed they function perfectly.

Ed Martin 5/5
Game changer for inspections
Was unsure at first, but they reliably hold about three frames off the side and feel sturdy enough. Worth the cost.

Handy for quick checks
Very useful when you don't have an empty box to temporarily hold frames after inspecting.
