BeeCastle 10-Frame Medium Langstroth Super — Cedar Hive Box, Pre-Dipped in 100% Beeswax with 10 Frames & Wax Foundations

BeeCastle 10 Frame Medium Super is a standard Langstroth cedar honey super pre-dipped in 100% beeswax and supplied with ten medium frames and wax foundations for quick, durable hive expansion.

This unassembled medium super gives beekeepers a ready-to-finish modular box that fits any 10-frame Langstroth system. Built from stable cedar and finished with a thicker beeswax dip, the BeeCastle super reduces the need for external painting while protecting wood from moisture and wear. It ships with ten pre-sized frames and wax foundations so you can add brood or honey space immediately after a straightforward assembly.

How does the BeeCastle medium super fit into a Langstroth hive setup?

The BeeCastle medium super follows standard Langstroth dimensions (16-1/4" x 19-7/8" x 6-5/8") so it stacks seamlessly with other 10-frame equipment. Its design supports typical brood boxes, queen excluders, and outer covers used in commercial and hobby hives. You can use it as a honey super or as supplemental brood space depending on colony needs.

• Standard 10-frame, medium-depth sizing: 6-5/8" depth for compatible stacking
• Works with common Langstroth hardware and accessories
• Supplied with ten 6-5/8" x 19" frames and wax foundations
• Ideal for either honey supers or additional brood space

What construction features improve durability and weather resistance?

This super is milled from cedarwood, chosen for dimensional stability that resists shrinking, cracking, and warping over seasons. A heavier beeswax dip is applied to all exterior surfaces to add water resistance and a naturally bee-friendly finish that extends service life without immediate painting. The dovetail joints and tight fitting corners increase structural integrity for long-term use.

• Cedarwood construction for stable, long-lasting walls
• Thicker 100% beeswax coating for improved water resistance
• Pre-cut dovetail joints for tight, load-bearing corners
• Pre-drilled holes to reduce splitting during assembly

How easy is assembly and installation in the field?

BeeCastle supplies the super unassembled but engineered for straightforward assembly: dovetail finger joints and pre-drilled holes speed the build and reduce tools required. Once assembled you can immediately install the included frames and foundations and set the super on your brood box or stack. This makes it a convenient option for backyard beekeepers and apiaries scaling up quickly.

• Unassembled with pre-cut dovetails for fast, accurate joining
• Pre-drilled holes minimize splitting and simplify screw placement
• Frames and wax foundations included — ready to place after assembly
• Lightweight enough for easy lifting and stacking in typical apiary workflows

What do the included frames and foundations provide?

The package contains ten medium beehive frames sized 6-5/8" x 19" with wax foundations fitted for immediate brood support or honey storage. These frames are standard for a 10-frame Langstroth super and come ready to install, reducing time between assembly and hive use. The wax foundation encourages bees to build straight comb on familiar footing.

• Ten medium frames sized for 10-frame Langstroth use
• Wax foundations included to guide comb construction
• Reduces labor and speeds readiness of new supers

Who this is for: Beekeepers who want a reliable, ready-to-assemble medium super that matches standard Langstroth equipment. It's well suited for hobbyists expanding hives, educators building demonstration colonies, and small-scale producers wanting durable cedar construction with a natural beeswax finish. If you value dimensional stability, reduced finishing work, and compatibility with 10-frame systems, this BeeCastle medium super is a practical addition to your apiary.
