A beehive frame comprises a perimeter framework for supporting a foundation sheet. The perimeter framework comprises apertures or depressions in one or both side faces of the perimeter framework. The apertures or depressions each have a lateral dimension and area similar to or the same as a lateral dimension and area of a cell of a natural honeycomb, so that the one or both side faces of the framework provides a foundation for the bees to build honeycomb. The frame increases yield and is resistant to small hive beetles.
