The present invention is a honeycomb frame for use in a bee hive including a rigid flat frame assembly that supports a resiliently deformable sheet, said sheet includes a matrix of primer cells. The matrix of primer cells are arranged in a drone pattern. The primer cells are used by the bees as a cell foundation for the construction within the hive of a honeycomb that is built outwardly from the plane of the resiliently deformable sheet. In another form, the present invention is a roller assembly for use with the honeycomb frame to extract the accumulated honey and wax material from the frame.
