65. they are "frames"

awesome pictures... the frames have the foundation in them which the bees build on to create the comb which they fill with honey or brood.. give them something to eat to supplement while they build up the comb in the new hive... sugar water.. I always used to use a front entrance feeder

You will LOVE bees!!! I had 11 hives at one time just gave my last two to my brother last summer.
