Frame grips

Available in galvanised steel and plastic with ergonomic handle.

Frame grips, including models like the Lyson frame grips, offer several benefits and advantages to beekeepers, enhancing the overall beekeeping experience. These tools are designed to facilitate the handling of frames within beehives, making inspections and honey extraction processes more efficient and less stressful for both the beekeeper and the bees.

Benefits and Advantages of Frame Grips

1. Ease of Use: Frame grips are designed to make the process of lifting and inspecting frames easier. With ergonomic handles and reinforced designs, such as those seen in Lyson's frame grips, beekeepers can securely hold and manipulate frames with one hand, leaving the other hand free for inspections or other tasks.
   
2. Safety for Bees: Using a frame grip reduces the risk of accidentally dropping frames, which can damage the comb, kill bees, and potentially harm the queen. The secure grip provided by these tools ensures that frames can be smoothly lifted and replaced without jostling the bees excessively.
3. Durability: Products like the Lyson frame grips are made from materials that ensure longevity and resistance to the elements. This durability means that beekeepers can rely on these tools season after season without needing frequent replacements.
4. Versatility: Some frame grips are designed to accommodate different types of frames, including both wood and plastic models. This versatility is particularly beneficial for beekeepers who use a mix of frame materials in their apiaries.
5. Reduced Physical Strain: Beekeeping can be physically demanding, especially when lifting heavy, honey-laden frames. Frame grips can be a significant advantage for beekeepers with arthritis or other physical limitations.
6. Improved Beekeeping Efficiency: By facilitating easier and safer frame handling, frame grips can make beekeeping tasks faster and more enjoyable. This efficiency can be especially valuable during peak beekeeping seasons when time is of the essence.
7. Protection Against Contamination: For beekeepers concerned about the purity of their honey, using tools like frame grips that do not require direct contact with the frames can help minimize the risk of contamination
