Our 8-frame medium super bee box is a lighter option for beekeepers for easier lifting - 20% lighter than a 10-frame bee box! It comes fully assembled for hassle-free setup and use.
FOR BEST CARE: We recommend any wooden hive component surface that is exposed to the elements to be protected with exterior primer and paint before use. Only prime and paint the outside, NEVER the inside where the bees live.
How to Build Your Bee Hive: What You Need
The number of bee boxes you use depends on your preference and what you're trying to achieve. A combination of medium and deep bee boxes is commonly used. One factor to keep in mind as you are deciding is that honey gets very heavy, which is why 8-frame bee boxes have become popular with backyard beekeepers.
How to Use Our Medium-Sized Hive Box
Our medium bee hive box - sometimes referred to as a medium super - can be used as a honey super (the box where honey is stored) or as a brood box as part of the hive body. This box holds up to 8 frames, making it lighter than our traditional 10-frame boxes.
