Premium Double Wax Dipped Protection

Every honey super is protected using Lappe’s premium Double Wax Dipping Process. During this process, the woodenware is immersed in hot wax so the wax can penetrate deep into the wood fibers, helping protect the box from moisture and outdoor weather exposure.

Unlike paint, which mainly protects the surface, wax becomes part of the wood itself. This helps create a durable, low-maintenance hive component that can be placed into service without painting or staining.

Double Wax Dipped woodenware helps defend against:

• Moisture
• Rot
• Warping
• Swelling
• Weather damage
• Long-term outdoor exposure

Over time, the exterior color may naturally lighten from sun and weather exposure. This is cosmetic only. The wax absorbed into the wood continues helping protect the equipment for years of use.

Triple Wax Coated Frames for Faster Comb Building

This honey super includes your choice of premium Triple Wax Coated frames. The heavier wax coating helps encourage bees to accept the foundation and begin drawing comb sooner, making it easier for the colony to move up into the super and start storing nectar.

Choose from:

• Assembled wooden frames with yellow Triple Wax Coated foundation
• Triple Wax Coated one-piece plastic yellow frames

The natural yellow foundation color offers a familiar beeswax-like appearance and works well for honey production equipment.

Please note: when wooden-frame options are selected, the wooden frame pieces themselves are intentionally left untreated because they are protected inside the hive. The foundation receives the Triple Wax coating that encourages bees to accept the surface and begin building comb.

How This Honey Super Fits Into Your Hive

A 6-5/8" medium honey super is typically placed above the brood chamber when the colony needs additional space for nectar and honey storage. As bees move upward, they draw comb on the Triple Wax Coated frames and begin filling the super with nectar that can later be cured into honey.

The 8-frame design is lighter and easier to lift than traditional 10-frame equipment, making it a popular choice for beekeepers who want a more manageable hive setup without giving up standard Langstroth compatibility.

Product Notes

This honey super is assembled using commercial-grade woodenware. Some knots, cracks, surface variations, and natural wood characteristics may be visible and do not affect normal use.

Some areas of the wax dipped woodenware may appear lighter or less coated than others because wax can absorb into the wood differently from piece to piece. The equipment is still wax dipped and protected.

Splits from stapling may occur due to natural wood grain, especially on frames. These do not compromise the structure or usability of the frame.
