MayBee 10-Frame Langstroth Medium Super Beehive Box — Wax-Coated Dovetail Kit with 10 Pine Frames

This medium super is built to fit standard Langstroth systems and is finished with a beeswax dip that helps protect the fir exterior while creating a bee-friendly surface. The set arrives unassembled and includes everything needed to add a fully framed honey chamber to your hive: ten New Zealand pine frames and ten food-grade plastic foundation sheets pre-dipped in beeswax. The box dimensions are 19.9" x 16.3" x 6.6", a common height for medium supers used by backyard and commercial beekeepers alike.

How does this super integrate with an existing Langstroth hive?

The MayBee medium super matches standard Langstroth internal dimensions so it stacks directly on top of brood boxes or other supers. Its dovetail joints and straight rabbeted edges maintain stability when combined with metal or wooden hive components. Because the box is wax-coated, it offers a familiar surface for bees to accept quickly.

• Standard Langstroth footprint (fits most hives)
• Compatible with grooved or nail-in frames
• Wax-coated interior promotes quicker colony acceptance
• Dovetail joints add wall strength and long-term durability

What comes in the kit and how ready is it to use?

This kit includes everything required for a framed medium super except tools: one medium hive box, ten New Zealand pine frames, and ten food-grade plastic foundations dipped in beeswax. The frames are pre-assembled, and the wax-dipped foundations are installed or ready to install depending on packaging, speeding up setup for new supers. Final assembly and stacking require basic beekeeping tools and standard hive practices.

• One medium 10-frame super (19.9" x 16.3" x 6.6")
• Ten durable New Zealand pine frames
• Ten food-grade plastic foundation sheets pre-dipped in beeswax
• Unassembled box components with dovetail joints for secure fit

How does the wax coating and materials affect durability and inspection?

The exterior fir wood combined with a beeswax dip provides moisture resistance and a smoother surface that withstands routine handling. Natural honey-colored foundations make it easier to spot debris or infestations during inspections without relying on painted or darkened materials. The choice of New Zealand pine frames balances weight and rigidity for repeated use.

• Wax coating increases water resistance and reduces weathering
• Light-colored foundations speed visual inspections
• Fir exterior and dovetail joints improve structural longevity
• Pine frames offer consistent frame spacing and stability

Who is this for? This MayBee 10-frame medium super is aimed at hobbyists upgrading their Langstroth hives, small-scale beekeepers adding a honey storage layer, and beekeeping suppliers stocking ready-to-assemble framed supers. It’s also useful for new beekeepers who want pre-dipped foundations and pre-made frames to shorten setup time. If you need a standard, durable, and bee-friendly medium super that integrates cleanly with existing equipment, this kit delivers the key components in one purchase without unnecessary extras.
