These Amish made medium honey supers are a labor of love. They’ve been painstakingly designed to hold together using tight fitting finger joints. The dual purpose handles of these honey boxes are no accident. These cut out handles have been crafted to lighten your load during hive inspections while promoting proper drainage during inclement weather. As you can see there is a top flat edge to grip, but there is no lower edge for the elements to puddle on. This prevents future damage to the wood that would occur otherwise. Measured twice and cut once, these medium bee boxes have the standard dimensions that fit all other 8 frame hives — regardless of their brand. Kit Includes: 1 Medium Super Box (14″ x 19-7/8″ x 6-5/8″) 8 Medium Super Langstroth Wood Frames (1-3/8″ x 19″ x 6-1/4″) 8 Plastic Natural Color Textured CellTech Foundations (100% Wax Coated) (3/16″ x 16-3/4″ x 5-5/8″) Assembly Required Unless Otherwise Specified Why Choose an 8 Frame Hive? The major benefit of an 8 frame hive is that it weighs 20% less than a 8 frame hive. Honey is heavy. A 8 frame brood box that is full of honey can weigh up to 90 lbs while medium boxes can weigh up to 60lbs. A 20% difference can save your back.

In the pursuit of discovering durably crafted Amish made beehives, Busy Bees ‘N’ More traveled the countryside of Ohio for just the right woodworkers. Throughout American history the Amish have built their name to be akin to authentic artisanship. They’ve stood the test of time and passed on their genuine expertise from generation to generation. Now known for their high-quality woodwork, the Amish create meticulously crafted works of art. In today’s marketplace, you’d be hard-pressed to find products that have the integrity, precision, and long-lasting value that the Amish provide. Instead, you’ll find the market has run rampant with cheap imported products that have been made to sell, not to be used. These hives are made in the USA from Eastern White Pine that were once sourced for creating log cabins and housing the pioneers of America — the Amish now use it to house your bees.
