""You need to keep deep frames in deep boxes and medium frames in medium boxes ....etc.""

Thanks, Ray. Worth repeating. Very important.

I'm sure after I go to bee school at local club in a few weeks, I will get a better understanding. Actually having my own hive components will be a big help. So when you put on a super for honey production, are the frames bigger? If you made a super out of mediums, would the frame be taller?

Deep, medium, shallow.




perry has it backwards, in the photo it's shallow, medium, deep............that's okay, sometimes perry's backwards............ :D

Shown in comparison to one another, it makes it clear. The dimensions in the catalogs make it a little confusing. Thanks Perry!

Riverbee, all our medium honey supers are painted a different color than our brood boxes.
If I find a box that is has brood in the super, those frames get replaced with foundation.
The brood frame gets moved to a nuc or another hive.
We run excluders so that doesn't happen very much.
