Bee Hive Frame Assembly Jig - Langstroth

Boost MeBee sure to give this a boost if it was helpful.  Happy beekeeping!

This jig will allow you to assemble 3 of the 4 frame parts with complete precision and squareness.  I recommend using an air stapler with 1-½" narrow staples.  The side sticks can be slipped into the jig loose, or you can use a spring clamp to hold them more firmly.  Insert the top bar onto the side bars and again a spring clamp is optional.  Next insert two staples in each joint using an air staple gun, preferably at a slight angle.   While the assembly is still in the jig, flip it onto the top bar and install the bottom bar with one staple in each joint.   I like to use Titebond III glue as well but I have seen a youtube video where the beekeeper preferred not to use glue so that you could repair the frame in the future.  I'm sure a case could be made for either method.   Then insert your foundation if applicable.
