To make room for the freezer the honey extractor was moved from this side of the bee house …

… to this side of the bee house. To do this I added legs to my bee vacuum so that it would actually sit over the vacuum.

The freezers new home.

Having handles honey frames in other freezers, I know how messy they can get.

I took some corrugated plastic (used to make signs) and cut it to fit the bottom of the freezer. This will allow me to pull them out and clean them when needed.

In order to make storing the frames easier to add and remove, I decided to add some spacers for the frames.

I start with a piece of pine 5-1/2” wide by 13-1/2” long.

I cut two 1/8” slits about 1/4” from each edge.

I add a set of x10 frame spacers to the slits.

I use some hot glue to keep the spacers in-place.

The new frame spacer assemblies are added to the bottom of the freezer.

I have a total capacity of about 30 frames in the 7 cubic foot freezer.

I currently have 7 full deep frames of honey in my freezer. I will probably double this by the end of the honey flow. This leaves me more room in the freezer for other things.
