Beekeeping frames and tools.
A-typical tools for assembling and wiring frames include a pizza cutter, secateurs, fishing line, starter strips of beeswax foundation. Traditionally beekeepers would use a full sheet of pre-wired foundation or would wire the frames with metal wire. Chris Slade uses diagonally cut starter strips and wires with nylon fishing line. This system enables the wax drawing bees to festoon in a natural way and draw the honey comb from top to bottom in the way that nature intended.
