This kit uses medium boxes for the entire hive — brood chamber and honey supers alike — sized for 8-frame equipment. Every box, frame, and piece of equipment is interchangeable. What You Get Cypress medium boxes sized to build a full 8-frame hive, brood chamber through supers Medium frames with foundation, sized to fit every box in the kit Telescoping cover, inner cover, and bottom board — everything needed to close up the hive Choose unassembled, assembled, or assembled and painted Why All-Medium Every box in an all-medium hive is the same size, so frames, foundation, and even spare boxes are interchangeable between brood chamber and supers. The tradeoff: since mediums hold less volume than deeps, you'll run more boxes total to match the brood space of a deep-based hive — and 8-frame boxes hold less than 10-frame to begin with.
