10-Frame Complete, Medium 6 5/8-inch Box with Frames and Foundation

The 10-Frame Complete Medium Box is a 6 5/8-inch cypress super that ships with frames and double-wax foundation, giving bees space to store surplus honey. Also called an Illinois, super, or honey box, the medium is much lighter than a deep and can also serve as brood space in an all-medium hive.
