Why Proper Frame Wire Tension Matters

Proper wire tension in your beehive frames is essential for supporting the wax foundation and ensuring your bees build healthy, straight comb. Loose wire can cause the foundation to sag or warp, which disrupts the colony and makes honey extraction more difficult.
