21st Bee Interview with Michael Mahar Langstroth Frames that Last "forever".

Join Cornell Frederick Dunn at the 2026 North American Honey Bee Expo (NAHBE) as he sits down with Michael Mahar of 21st Bee to take a deep dive into the engineering behind the Infinity Frame. In this interview, we explore how the Mahar family’s 35-year legacy in precision injection molding at Mahar Manufacturing led to the creation of a one-piece, food-grade ABS frame designed to outlast traditional wooden equipment. Whether you’re a hobbyist looking for a maintenance-free solution or a commercial keeper focused on long-term durability, Fred and Michael break down why these Arkansas-made frames are becoming a staple in modern apiaries. Key Takeaways from the Interview The "Indestructible" Design: Learn how the single-mold construction prevents the common joint failures found in standard plastic or wooden frames. Why ABS Plastic? Michael explains the switch from standard polypropylene to high-quality, UV-stable ABS for increased rigidity and hive health. Wax Coating Secrets: Insights into why heavy, high-quality wax application is critical for bee acceptance in a plastic-frame system. Family Roots: A look at the second-generation manufacturing expertise that powers 21st Bee’s operations in Van Buren, Arkansas.
