LANGSTROTH Hive Bodies /Boxes
NO SHIPPING - Choose "In-Store Pickup" option only.
 
A DEEP hive body is usually the year-round bottom box or "brood box" in a Langstroth setup, although lots of beekeepers also use it as a honey "super"
Dimensions are 19-7/8" L x 16-1/4" W x 9-1/2" H - weight is 65-80lbsfilled
 
A MEDIUM hive body is typically added for the bees to store their honey reserves , but it can also be used as a brood box if you keep all medium boxes. Any box added on top of the brood box for the purpose of storing honey may be called a "honey super"
 
8 Frame Dimensions are 19-7/8" L x 16-1/4" W x 6-5/8" H - weight is 50lbs-55lbsfilled 
 
We recommend Top-Bar Hives for much lighter, cheaper, and easier beekeeping, especially for backyard/urban/hobby beekeepers.
 
However, some beekeepers need Langstroth equipment typically used for commercial operations, and in that case we highly recommend all same size boxes, with all 8-frame medium throughout the board being the most ideal configuration to minimize depth & width incompatibilities and heavy lifting.
