Frame Nails 28 × 1.4 mm – 0.1 kg Package (Galvanized)
Give your frames a strong and reliable joint that will withstand daily work in the apiary and during extraction. Galvanized beekeeping nails 28 × 1.4 mm are among the proven staples for frame assembly. The frame is one of the most stressed parts in the hive – during handling, transport, and in the honey extractor – and quality fastening material determines whether it maintains its shape and precision.
Why exactly 28 × 1.4 mm? The 1.4 mm diameter offers a balanced ratio between strength and gentleness to wood. The nail holds well while minimizing the risk of splitting the top bars, typically with linden or spruce. The 28 mm length ensures sufficiently deep anchoring and a strong joint even at frequently stressed frame corners.
Resistance in hive conditions: The galvanized surface treatment protects the nails from corrosion. You'll appreciate this especially in environments with higher humidity and when using treatments or organic acids (e.g., formic acid), where ordinary material degrades more quickly. The result is longer frame life and fewer concerns when renewing equipment.
Tip for beekeepers: Besides frame assembly, these nails are also excellent for securing foundation wire. When wiring, leave the nail slightly protruding on one side of the top bar – the wire end can be conveniently wound around it and better secure the tension.
