Ww 505 10 frame 6 5 8 16 83 cm unassembled super select grade 36 boxes.

10 frame medium super dimensions.

Cut to exact size before assembling. 20 x 16 1 4 x 6 5 8 10 plastic frames. For the 3 4 finger joints start your first cut 3 4 from the bottom. 16 1 4 x 6 5 8 x 3 4.

Rabbet joints are an acceptable alternative. Medium super and 1x12 3 4 x 11 1 4 for the deep hive body. Assembled commercial 3 4 medium super with dimensions. 1 x 12 clear pine.

Start by cutting the boards to length. To add to the confusion a hive body is sometimes referred to as a brood chamber. Note that the top finger is 5 8 not 3 4 and is trimmed to 3 8 long. The same box could be used at one time as a super and another as a hive body.

For sides cut a smidgen over 19 7 8. 1 x 12 clear pine. Wider combs are easier to uncap because the comb exceeds past the wooden frame allowing the uncapping knife to ride along the wooden frame as a guide and uncapping all cells. To do this you will need to cut a notch into the top of each super.

19 7 8 x 6 5 8 x 3 4 these are the long sides. Each super contains 10 frames. Measure 5 8 down from the inside edge and make a mark. It is true that a 9 frame super will usually contain more honey than a 10 frame because all nine frames are larger and can hold a total that exceeds 10 smaller drawn frames.

For fronts and backs cut them a smidgen over 16 1 4. The base price kit shown includes. A note on nomenclature. These frames need to rest so that they lie level and leaves enough room to add another bee box on top.

Measure 3 8 in from the inside edge and make a mark.
