This pack includes:
- 6 SimplKomb cassettes to install into 3 medium, Langstroth frames that you will then add to your honey super. The Bunt Pack outfits renders 24 individual packages of comb honey.
- 2 Follower Sheets
- 2 cassettes are needed for each frame
- Each cassette has 4 Comb Honey Packages
- Cassettes are unwaxed, you will need to wax before adding to the super
- Once filled, a Bunt Pack will produce 24 individual packages of honeycomb!
- Each SimplKomb package weighs about 6.0oz on average once filled and capped
SimplKomb Follower Sheets are similar to Follower Boards you may be familiar with, but they don't take up an entire frame worth of space!
Our Follower Sheets are designed to separate your honey super to manage bee space, mitigate overbuilding, and separate your SimplKomb Frames from the regular drawn frames in your super.
Product Info about Follower Sheets:
- Each order contains a par (2) Follower Sheets.
- These follower sheets are made of food-safe, PET plastic.
- They can be cleaned and reused over and over.
When Should I Use Follower Sheets?
Follower Sheets are used when employing the "Chimney" Method or using a SimplKomb Bunt Pack (sold at select retailers). Here are some quick instructions:
- Once your honey super is filled and mostly capped, remove a few frames from the center to create a void.
- Leave the regular drawn comb on the outsides of your super, and fill the center space with waxed SimplKomb Frames.
- This "Chimney" approach encourages your bees to fill up the center space and quickly build and store honey in those center frames.
- Place a Follower Sheet on either side of your SimplKomb frames, bookending the frames and separating SimplKomb from the regular drawn frames.
- Press your frames together tightly to ensure appropriate bee space and encourage the correct build/capping height.
- Place your super on a strong, healthy hive that is crowded with bees at peak nectar flow.
