🐝 UV resistant – won't degrade or become brittle from sun exposure
🐝 Won't rust, corrode, or deteriorate like metal alternatives
Why Beekeepers Need This
When you pull frames during an inspection, you need somewhere to put them. Leaning them against the hive risks them falling over. Setting them on the ground gets dirt and debris on your comb. Carrying a second box is cumbersome. These compact holders snap onto the side of your hive and give you a clean, secure place to rest frames while you work. The 3-frame capacity gives you extra workspace for thorough inspections.
Made For Beekeepers By A Beekeeper
I designed these holders because I needed a better solution than leaning frames against the hive or hauling bulky metal holders around. This version was retooled specifically for Hive IQ beekeepers, with the same pocket-sized, clean-workspace design built to match the contour of the Hive IQ system.

Why Petg Matters
Many 3D printed beekeeping tools use basic PLA plastic, which can soften above 120°F. PETG offers better heat resistance (up to 160°F), UV stability, and superior impact resistance – built to handle the demands of outdoor beekeeping season after season.
A Note On Heat
While PETG handles typical outdoor beekeeping conditions well, avoid leaving items on a vehicle dashboard or storing them in a hot car during summer months. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 160°F may cause warping.
Perfect For
Honey harvesting, brood chamber checks, queen spotting, general hive maintenance, and working multiple hives in one session.
