10-Frame Cypress Medium 6 5/8-inch Super Box
Medium boxes go by a lot of names — honey super, Illinois super, medium — but they all mean the same thing: the box that sits above the brood nest where your bees store surplus honey. This 10-frame cypress medium box is lighter than a deep when full, which matters a lot once you're lifting it off the hive at harvest.
You can use a deep box as a super, but a full deep of honey weighs close to 90 pounds. A full medium runs closer to 40. If you're pulling supers by hand at harvest, that difference matters — your back will thank you.
Add supers during nectar flow (spring through summer) as your colony fills existing frames. Adding one too early wastes bees' energy guarding empty space; adding one too late costs you honey. Watch frame fill rather than the calendar.
