How many cells are typically located in a standard honeycomb frame?

In a standard honeycomb frame, the typical number of cells is around 1,000. This figure is based on the structure and design of the frames used in beekeeping, which are usually constructed to hold a particular size and number of cells to accommodate the needs of the colony.

Each individual cell is designed to house either a worker bee or a drone, and the size and spacing of the cells are engineered to optimize space for brood rearing as well as honey storage. The configuration within the frame allows for efficient use of space, ensuring that the colony can grow and thrive.

The selection of 1,000 cells reflects an understanding of standard beekeeping practices, including the dimensions of frames and the typical spacing between cells, which facilitate proper bee development and honey production. Other options, while they might suggest varying amounts of cells, either underestimate or overestimate the average number found in a honeycomb frame used in traditional beekeeping.
