ABSTRACT:
A system and method for the removal, handling, and inspection of honey frames from beehive boxes. The system includes a handle bar positioned on the top plate of an improved frame structure. The handle bar retains two threaded T-bolts that are aligned with threaded aperture inserts that have been positioned in the top plate to form the improved honey frame. The threaded bolts are secured within the threaded aperture inserts to a spaced attachment to the frame. Once positioned, excess top wax is scraped away and the frame lifted from the hive by the handle bar. The tubular handle bar is appropriately configured to be inserted into a circular clamp that may be positioned on a table or other structure. The circular clamp grips and retains the handle bar and the attached frame in a position appropriate for inspection.
