Bee frame boxes
Frame transport boxes and crates are essential tools for transporting frames and bees. We offer both universal and specialized crates suitable for transport as well as storage of frames. The universal boxes are made of UV-stabilized polypropylene and are certified safe for food contact. With adjustable spacer combs, you can set the required frame size. The boxes are bee-tight and equipped with a lid, ensuring perfect sealing and protection during transport and storage. The lid is secured with locking pins, and the large transport nucleus box features an opening in the lid for a slide. The transport boxes are easy to store and can be stacked for space-saving storage.
How to Transport Bees and Frames Efficiently?
Beekeeping requires not only careful management of colonies, but also effective transport solutions to move frames, hives, and other equipment with ease. Here, we present the best options for transportation and handling to help beekeepers safely and efficiently tackle everyday tasks.
Transport Tanks
If you’re looking for a practical way to transport frames, a transport tank could be the ideal choice. Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene certified for food safety, these tanks ensure durability and a safe contact surface for honey. By removing the bottom, the tank can also be transformed and used as a standard super.
Universal Transport Tanks
These versatile tanks are available in three variations: without ventilation, with ventilation, and as a “swarm tank.”

Transport tank models are designed for carrying combs with various frame sizes and, thanks to vented openings with stainless steel mesh, are also suitable for moving swarms.
Manufactured from durable food-grade plastic, these tanks offer comfortable transportation of up to eight frames. With the innovative comb bar system, you can easily adjust to different frame widths. The lids come secured with locking pins for added safety during transit.
Transport Boxes
These robust boxes are engineered to efficiently protect frames from impact during transit. They are an essential companion for any beekeeper who frequently moves hives or frames.
Straps
Straps are used to secure hives during transportation, whether on a cart or trailer. Their sturdy construction and user-friendly design ensure the hives remain stable and safe no matter how much the load shifts.
Hive Carts
For beekeepers who regularly move hives between locations or need to shift heavy equipment short distances, hive carts and wagons are the perfect solution. Quality wheels ensure they can handle rough terrain, saving time and effort.
Investing in quality transport equipment pays off many times over for beekeepers. It not only boosts work efficiency but also minimizes the risk of damaging beekeeping supplies during travel. Whether you choose sturdy transport tanks or more flexible handling tools, the benefits will become apparent in your everyday beekeeping work.
