Most honey bee hives have both Brood and Super boxes, with frames hung in each.
Typically, the supers will use Castellated Spacers (such as these https://amzn.to/2mBgjJ1) to provide the correct spacing between frames. It's important to ensure that the bees have sufficient room to move around the combs and work on them.
The issue I found is that most brood frames don't use the same castellated spacers.
Even if using something like the Hoffman self spacing frames (such as these https://amzn.to/2mB8B1k), the frames are not evenly spaced out, so the space between brood and super frames can be uneven, leading to tight gaps for the bees to move around.
To solve the problem, and make life better for the bees, I decided to sketch up these frame spacers which can be used on both Brood and Super frames to provide an even spacing.
I know these can be bought already (https://amzn.to/2nXVaJc), but why buy if you can print :)
These can also be printed using any colour PLA, so that
