Used to attach bottom bars to end bars, or under the frame ear going from the end bar to the top bar. Height 28 mm, diameter 1,4 mm.
A sturdy frame is the foundation for quality comb construction and trouble-free work in the colony. These beekeeping nails measuring 28 × 1.4 mm are designed for quick and precise frame assembly so that joints hold well and frames withstand long-term stress in the hive.
Strong Joint Without Unnecessary Wood Splitting
The 1.4 mm diameter is suitable for most common frame lumber cuts. The nails are slim enough to minimize the risk of splitting the wood strips when hammering, while providing the strength needed for frames loaded with brood and stores.
Resistance to Moisture and Hive Conditions
The hive has persistently high humidity and during the season more aggressive vapors may appear (for example during formic acid treatment). The galvanized surface protects the nails from corrosion, so joints remain strong and frames maintain stability even after years of use.
Suitable Also for Wire Work
Many beekeepers use them not only for assembly, but also as simple support when wiring frames. When anchoring wire, the nail on the side bar is usually not driven all the way home, so the wire can be conveniently wrapped and secured. The head then serves as a reliable anchor point.
Practical Packaging That Won't Spill
We supply the nails in a sturdy resealable zip bag. This allows you to repeatedly open and close it without spilling the contents, while being better protected from moisture during storage.
