These show a super frame adapted to take a cell bar.
A brood frame adapted to take two cell bars.
Cell plugs. The white one is not available that I know of. The wooden one is my version, cut a slice of 28mm dowel and pin and glue a slice of 18mm dowel and you have a usable cell plug. I cut the holes in the cell bars to 18mm in theory, but the cutter tends to make it a touch bigger so the fit is easy enough.
Also there is a frame adapted for caged virgins. Two with excluder and one with just mesh covers. Both seem to work well.
