National to Langstroth Frame Adapter Converter Bracket – 1 / 2 / 3 Frame Options

National to Langstroth Frame Adapter Bracket

A simple, reliable solution for fitting UK National frames into Langstroth hives

This National to Langstroth Frame Adapter Bracket is designed for beekeepers who need to transfer, reuse or migrate British National frames into Langstroth hive bodies without cutting, bodging or losing valuable drawn comb.

Whether you are moving colonies, transferring nucs, standardising equipment, or selling bees across hive formats, this adapter provides a secure, accurate and repeatable conversion method that preserves correct frame spacing and bee space.

Manufactured to precise dimensions here in the UK, the bracket allows National frames to hang correctly inside Langstroth brood boxes or nucs, solving one of the most common compatibility problems faced by UK beekeepers using mixed hive systems.

Using an adapter bracket avoids cutting lugs, altering frame dimensions, or creating uneven spacing that can cause brace comb, crushed bees or poor brood patterns. This adapter provides a clean, professional solution trusted by beekeepers who regularly work across hive formats.
