Medium super boxes are designed to make honey harvesting easier. They are lighter weight and 3 inches shorter than a deep hive body frame which makes honey transportation painless. These medium honey bee boxes are made from Fir wood and have dovetail joints to increase their durability. This kit has been assembled and the medium super box has been painted with white latex paint to save you time and give your hive parts a longer lifespan. They can be used with any 8 frame Langstroth beehive with no issues. Each frame is made from New Zealand Pine. They use CellTech foundations that have already been coated in 100% beeswax to ensure your bees quickly develop an even layer of comb. The CellTech foundations are made from food grade honey colored plastic to make it easier for you to inspect the honey for debris.Kit Includes: 1 Painted & Assembled Medium Super Box (16-1/4″ 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 Honey Colored Textured CellTech Foundations (100% Wax Coated) (3/16″ x 16-3/4″ x 5-5/8″) 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. Learn more from our blog: Why Choose NuBee Hives? From day one NuBee has sought to lower barriers that prevent people from picking up the veil and becoming a backyard beekeeper. With this goal in mind, NuBee originally focused on developing an 8 frame hive that would be as light and durable as possible, at an honest price. Since then NuBee has grown into 10 frame beehives and are now a favorite first hive among beekeepers. Their balance between high quality and affordability is second to none. They continue to delight customers with their attention to detail at such a great price. Every joint has been cut using dovetails to ensure a perfectly square hive. NuBee uses a combination of Fir and Pine to produce treasures that will last for years to come. The craftsmanship is noteworthy and their hive parts are cut using the same industry standard dimensions that all other Langstroth beehive brands are made with. This means every one of their parts are interchangeable with any other 8 frame beehive parts you may already have. These days, NuBee continues to lower barriers by dedicating its extra time to teaching beekeepers how to start successful apiaries. They are not only equipping you with the right tools, but are focusing on equipping you with the right knowledge on how to use them. Looking to Buy in Bulk?
