Hi there Beekeepers,
Putting together the Flow Hive.
Do the Comb Guides need to be glued/nailed into the frames?
Or are they secured by just positioning them into the slot provided on the frame?
Many thanks
Cheers
Debra

I did mine with an outdoor PVA glue. 2 or 3 very small nails is an alternative if you don’t have glue.
They need to be secured as once the bees start building from the strip it can be quite a bit of weight and it may pull the strip out.
Ok, what size wire is recommended for the frames?
@McFoxdale If you contact your local bee keeping suppliers they will have reels of the correct wire
Between .04 and .06
or
Between 22 and 28
