Detailed Description
The 8-Frame Complete Medium 6 5/8-Inch Box with Frames and Foundation is one of the most popular hive configurations for honey production. Medium boxes are lighter than deep boxes, making them easier to handle when full of honey, which is why many beekeepers prefer them for honey supers.
This complete kit includes:
These boxes can be used as traditional honey supers or as part of an all-medium hive system, where medium boxes are used throughout the hive for both brood and honey storage.
Constructed from smooth 7/8-inch thick cypress wood, the box is naturally rot-resistant and designed to last for many years, even without paint. Cypress is known for its durability and resistance to outdoor weather conditions.
The included foundation is coated with double the beeswax compared to many standard plastic foundations. This heavier wax coating significantly improves bee acceptance and encourages bees to draw comb faster and more consistently.
Beekeepers can choose from unassembled, assembled, or assembled and painted options. Assembled kits are stapled together for added strength, while painted kits are primed and coated with premium UV-resistant white exterior paint.
This kit is a reliable and durable choice for both beginner and experienced beekeepers looking to expand their hive or improve honey production efficiency.
