It is important to get the frames right for Philippines conditions. With all the other stresses brought by the tropical mites and diseases it is important the bees can seal and guard the hive.
Before large scale commercialization and powerful advertising there was common sense. The original Root frame based on Langstroth's principles shows all that is needed. Simple frame made from wood with an optional wood comb guide at the top.
Original Root Frame with top starter and equally wide side bars and bottom bar.
Interesting frame Langstroth included in his book. Has a bee space through the center so it will hold two combs. Top bars are wide and touch each other to form the inner cover just like a top-bar hive. I am guessing this would only be used in the honey supers as how would you manage queen cells between the combs.
