10 Frame Double Wax Dipped 6-5/8" Medium Honey Super with Triple Wax Coated Frames

Maximize honey production with the 10 Frame Double Wax Dipped 6-5/8" Medium Honey Super with Triple Wax Coated Frames from Lappe's Bee Supply. This premium, fully assembled honey super combines our Double Wax Dipped woodenware with your choice of Triple Wax Coated assembled wooden frames or Triple Wax Coated one-piece plastic frames, giving your bees the ideal environment for building comb and storing surplus honey.

Unlike unfinished hive equipment, this honey super arrives completely assembled and ready to place on your hive. There is no painting, staining, or assembly required. Simply unpack it, place it above your brood chamber when your colony is ready, and let your bees begin storing honey.

The 6-5/8-inch medium honey super has become one of the most popular choices among hobby and commercial beekeepers because it provides generous honey storage while remaining significantly lighter than a deep hive body when full, making inspections and harvesting easier.

Premium Double Wax Dipped Protection

Every honey super is manufactured by Lappe's Bee Supply and protected using our premium Double Wax Dipping Process.

Each box is submerged in hot wax twice, with approximately ten minutes of soaking during each dip. This process removes moisture from the wood while allowing hot wax to penetrate deeply into the wood fibers.

Unlike paint, which protects only the surface, the wax becomes part of the wood itself, helping defend against:

• Moisture
• Rot
• Warping
• Swelling
• Mold
• Weather damage
• Years of outdoor exposure

Many beekeepers choose Double Wax Dipped equipment because it requires little maintenance while providing exceptional long-term durability.

Over time, the exterior color may naturally lighten from sunlight and weather. This is simply cosmetic—the wax absorbed into the wood continues protecting the equipment for years.

Triple Wax Coated Frames for Faster Comb Building

Every honey super includes your choice of premium frames featuring Triple Wax Coated foundation, providing one of the heaviest wax coatings available in the industry.

Choose from:

• Assembled Wooden Frames with Triple Wax Coated Foundation
• Triple Wax Coated One-Piece Plastic Frames

Available in:

• Natural Yellow
• Black Foundation
• Yellow Foundation

The heavy wax coating encourages bees to accept the foundation more quickly and begin drawing comb sooner than lightly coated foundation.

Please Note: The wooden frame pieces themselves are intentionally left untreated. Because they are protected inside the hive, they do not require wax dipping. Only the plastic foundation receives the premium Triple Wax coating to encourage rapid comb acceptance.
