I think this question may have been asked before so please point me in the correct direction if you can find the old thread…
I am looking to find the weight of a WRC 7 frame Flow Hive 2 brood box (x2), 20 drawn frames, Flow stand with leg kit, inner cover, roof… Should have weighed them before putting the bees in but I didn’t (don’t) have any idea what I am doing so…
What do you estimate the weight of a empty but fully drawn foundation less frame is?
Thanks!
I would have to take a guess at the drawn frames but will have the weights for the individual hive components - will grab that for you now 
I’m going to take a guess at 2kg per fully drawn frame. Would love to know how this compares to other guesses (or if anyone has proper info on this).
The 2 brood boxes would weigh about 5.5 kg each. The stand with leg kit, about 4 kg, inner cover about 1.1 kg, roof maybe 2.6 kg - so all up I’m getting around 58.7 - would be interesting to know how close this is! Hope my guesses help a bit.
Sorry 2kg is a guess for a full frame - so maybe a kg or less if empty…
@Bianca what are your thoughts on this one?
A fully drawn but empty brood frame wouldn’t weigh much more than an empty one. I’d say 1.5kg.
If sull of honey it would be much heavier, up to 2.5 - 2.8 kg and a little less for a frame full of brood or bee bread.
I hope this helps.
Empty Flow supplied foundationless frame with comb guide is 212g.
Same deep frame with waxed plastic foundation is 435g
