Assembled Hive

10 honey frames, screened ventilation, and larger handholds

Our superior one-piece frames

The 9-Frame "Super Super"

Black or White

BeeCARE's traditional honey supers are called 10-Frame Vented Supers^™, and are completely preassembled, 6-5/8" medium supers, made of commercial-quality pine with large, more secure handholds.  Each contains 10 frames, which are US-made, genuine Pierco one-piece frames with honeycomb-cell embossed foundation.  All our frames come with a 10-year guarantee.

The 10-Frame Vented Super's frames and foundation are coated with a layer of pure beeswax to encourage rapid honeycomb development when the frames are newly introduced into the hive.

Angled ventilation keeps out rain

Each super also has screened, angled ventilation holes below the handholds at either end.  These provide critical added ventilation for temperature control in the summer and moisture control in the winter.  By being screened on the inside, each hole provides ventilation without an additional entrance that could allow robbing.  Each hole is drilled at an upward 45-degree angle to keep the rain out, even during a fierce thunderstorm.
