Hogg Halfcomb Complete Shallow Frame

Create beautiful, ready-to-sell comb honey with ease using the Hogg Halfcomb Complete Shallow Frame. This all-in-one system simplifies comb honey production by letting your bees do the work—right inside pre-installed cassettes.

Designed for shallow (5-11/16”) equipment, this frame comes complete with eight Hogg Square cassettes and lids. Just place one or more frames into the center of your honey super during a strong nectar flow, surround with standard frames, and allow your bees to naturally draw and fill perfect comb sections.

Note: Not compatible with frame spacers installed in the box.

Key Benefits

• Fits Standard Shallow Equipment
  Compatible with 5-11/16” shallow boxes, including nucs, 8- or 10-frame supers, Lyson hives, and other Langstroth systems.
• Complete & Ready to Use
  Includes pre-installed cassettes and lids, positioned back-to-back to guide bees for clean, uniform comb building.
• No Cutting or Draining Required
  Bees build directly inside each cassette—simply remove, cap, and package.
• Reusable & Cost-Effective
  Durable frame can be reloaded with new cassettes for repeated use.
• Boost Your Profits

How It Works

1. Insert the frame into your hive (replaces two standard Langstroth frames).
2. Bees build and fill comb inside the eight square cassettes.
3. Remove the frame once comb is capped.
4. Separate the two halves and extract comb sections using a suction tool (not included).
5. Apply lids and secure with labels.
6. Freeze finished comb sections to prevent wax moth damage.
7. Reload frame with new cassettes and reuse.
