Dadant Super

When you're in the middle of honey flow season and need to move your hives to rosemary, eucalyptus or sunflower blooms, every kilo and every centimeter matters. And if you've ever had to carry unbalanced heavy hives, you know how valuable a well-designed super for real migratory beekeeping is.

This 8-frame medium super is made of 22 mm thick pine wood, with dovetail joints at the corners to withstand shocks, transport stress and humidity changes. Its 48x17 cm dimensions make it compatible with Langstroth and Dadant Migratory hives, keeping a compact, easy-to-handle format in the field.

It comes with pre-wired straight frames, ready to fit wax foundation and save you the setup time that often delays the start of the season. The 30 mm wide top bar provides extra stability, especially when stacking supers on trolleys or during transport.

What I personally value is the linseed oil coating: it protects and nourishes the wood without sealing it completely, allowing it to breathe. This natural treatment helps maintain a healthy microclimate inside the hive — something bees appreciate more than we might think.

Perfect for early, light monofloral honeys like rosemary, lavender, orange blossom or spring wildflowers. And if you're considering automating later on, this format fits standard extractors for Langstroth or Dadant medium frames.
