The honey frames contain a partially-formed honeycomb with vertical gaps that is made of a plastic free of both BPA and BPS.

When the beekeeper activates the frame mechanism by inserting and turning a crank, the vertical gaps are offset by one-half of a cell.

This breaks the wax covering and allows the honey to flow through the cells into a channel at the base of each frame and out into a collection vessel,[2] obviating the need for extraction equipment such as centrifuges and filters.

[3][4] After the beekeeper resets the frame, the bees remove the broken covering and repair and refill the cells.

In February 2015, they launched a campaign on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo hoping to raise A$70,000 for a custom injection mould.
