The 5-Frame Cypress Medium Super Box is a durable, high-quality hive box made from rot-resistant cypress and designed for use with standard 5 Frame Beekeeping Kit.

It can also serve as a brood box in a medium-depth 5-frame hive setup, offering flexibility for growing colonies and honey production alike.

Detailed Description

This medium cypress hive box is designed to fit 5-frame beekeeping kits and serves as one of the most versatile components in the hive. Typically used as a honey super, it provides space for bees to store capped honey, but it can also function as a brood chamber in medium-depth hive configurations.

Each box is built from 7/8-inch thick cypress boards, chosen for their natural rot resistance and long-lasting durability. The smooth finish ensures easy stacking and handling, while the precise cuts provide a tight, secure fit with other hive parts.

You can choose your box unassembled, assembled, or assembled and painted. When you select the assembled option, we use Titebond wood glue and staples for secure joints that won’t loosen over time. The painted option adds a layer of protection with a white primer and premium UV-resistant white paint for durability against weather and sun exposure.

While this box can be used empty to house feeders such as baggie, Boardman, or top feeders, it is most effective when paired with frames and foundation. For customers ordering by shipment, selecting the complete box with frames and foundation is recommended to help reduce shipping costs and ensure compatibility.

Foxhound Bee Company has set itself apart by providing high-quality cypress equipment that’s built to last. Every box is crafted with care to support healthy colonies and long-term beekeeping success.
