Why do beekeepers choose Acorn Pierco?
Bees draw it. Faster. Both sides.
The biggest complaint about plastic foundation is that bees ignore them. Our precision cell structure was engineered to fix exactly that—bees recognize it, accept it, and pull beautiful comb across both sides of the frame. Real beekeepers managing dozens of colonies tell us it draws out faster than every other brand they’ve tried.
Built once. Beekeeps for years.
A redesigned, much stronger ear configuration. Sturdier, flatter, stiffer construction. No bowing. No warping. No re-gluing wood frames every spring. Pull a frame, inspect it, spin honey out of it, hose it down—it goes right back into the hive.
Choose your wax. Choose your draw speed.
Order unwaxed and apply your own, or pick from Standard, Double, or Triple beeswax—applied in-house with the finest beeswax we can source. Heavier wax means faster acceptance, which means more brood, more bees, and more honey on a tighter timeline.
One piece. Zero assembly.
No nailing, gluing, or wiring. No splintered hands at 11 p.m. before a Saturday inspection. Pull frames out of the box and into the super.
Made in California. Inspected at the source.
All frames are molded, waxed, and quality-checked at our California plant. You’re not getting a generic import in a different label—you’re getting a frame an American manufacturer puts their name on.

My observations of the bees working well with these frames spans 2+ years of use. The wax coating is good. I sometimes add more (via rubbing on filtered wax from decappings / burr comb). Besides the bees using these frames routinely in the medium boxes, I have also used them to provide candy board for extra Winter resources (just in case; candy is formed on one side of frame, flush with edge of frame (bee space) & secured with elastic bands - just in case of dislodgment). I use Apimaye hive equipment. These frames fit 100% & are robust for leveraging out of box when there’s lots of adhesion (propolis / comb).
Frames are great,had a couple with shipping damage, talked to representative at midwesthoneybeeexpo last year and she said she would send replacements but must have forgot.
These frames are wonderful. The bees draw them out beautifully. I would suggest getting the triple waxed. That way you don't have to add any extra wax.
I had to purchase more frames due to the number of swarms I was catching. I had heard good things about Acorn foundations so I figured I would try them and I wasn’t disappointed. The bees went to work drawing these out in no time at all. Note: I was feeding the bees 1to 1 sugar water to speed up the process. In addition to that I like the fact that they are one piece and are black which aids me in seeing eggs now that I am getting older and my eye sight has changed. My next foundation purchase will be Acorn for sure!
The one piece black plastic fountain double waxed. The Bees draw it out real good with any kind of a flow going on or 1 to 1 sugar water at the rite time.
I really like these tripple coated black plastic frames. The bees get right to them building new comb, and the top bar is just a little bit narrower than wooden. The little bit allows me to keep a one gallon feeder inside and still maintain 10 frames for brood. It’s a tight fit side to side but it prevents a lot of wax buildup between the frames.
I have used Acorn frames for many years. When I had a honeybee farm I had them shipped by ordering through Nick Lissaman of Acorn Bee Supply. I like the triple waxed frames for my honey bee colonies.
These frames are so sturdy, you never have to worry about your wax falling off a wooden frame as you manipulate it. The bees create comb more evenly.. I would recommend these frames to any beekeeper.
