Most commercial hive bodies (boxes) are made to accomodate 10 frames of combs. These frames are easily removable. We use 9 frames most of the time to allow a little easier access for removing the frames of combs. Each frame is one comb. A frame of combs is simply a wooden frame with ears on the top portion that allow it to hang in the hive body like a file folder. The inside portion of the frame contains foundation or combs that the bees use for brood rearing or storage of honey.
