Hi:
 
If you have the time and the workshop one thing that can be done is make
some a little a little larger than the frame (but not much) it will not
hold as much but you can put in 9 frames. I made some a few years back with
masonite board with the rough side in, worked fine bees could get in and
out without drowning.
