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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/8\" thick cypress boards — naturally rot-resistant, holds up outdoors without paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 5\/8\" depth, sized for medium frames and foundation — lighter to lift than a deep box when full of honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStacks directly on your existing 10-frame equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembled boxes are stapled at the joints for strength, not just glued\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose unassembled, assembled, or assembled and painted depending on how much prep work you want to do yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Recommend Medium Over Deep for Supers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSeasonal Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 5\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 medium frames\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCypress, 7\/8\" thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuild Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnassembled, Assembled, Assembled and Painted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/beekeeping-equipment\/what-is-a-super-for-bees\"\u003eWhat is a Honey Super?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/beekeeping-equipment\/honey-supers-and-brood-boxes-explained\"\u003eHoney Supers and Brood Boxes: Explained\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eYou May Also Need\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cypress-deep-9-58-inch-brood-box\"\u003e10-Frame Cypress Deep Brood Box\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/inner-cover\"\u003e10 Frame Inner Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cypress-metal-capped-telescoping-cover\"\u003e10-Frame Cypress Metal Capped Telescoping Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Foxhound Bee Company","offers":[{"title":"10-Frame Unassembled","offer_id":49054164058267,"sku":"BOX M 10 U","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10-Frame Assembled","offer_id":49054164091035,"sku":"BOX M 10 A","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10-Frame Assembled, Primed and Painted","offer_id":49054164123803,"sku":"BOX M 10 AP","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/5103\/6827\/files\/10-frame-cypress-medium-6-58-inch-super-box-10-frame-woodenware-mast-10-frame-assembled.png?v=1784702592","url":"https:\/\/0spfvf-gz.myshopify.com\/products\/10-frame-cypress-medium-6-5-8-inch-super-box","provider":"Sarah's Newest Trends","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
