PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ever wanted to harvest your own honeycomb? An Ideal, or shallow, super is one of the most popular ways to collect and sell honeycomb, thanks to its conveniently sized frames. It’s also the perfect size for storing extra winter honey reserves for your bees.
With a shallower box and frames, bees can fill it more quickly. Available in ThermoGrade®, a long-lasting, lightweight timber with improved insulative properties, it is manufactured in Langstroth Ideal 8- or 10-frame sizing.
It can be used for brood, or as an additional Ideal-sized honey super. The Flow Ideal Super also features our unique V™ design, which doubles as a practical handle.
Each super includes 8 or 10 foundationless Ideal frames, allowing bees to build their comb naturally, while also accommodating wax, wire, or plastic foundation.
PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY
This product is manufactured to the same specifications as the Flow Hive 2, and Flow Hive 2+ and is compatible with all individual components in this range.
Also designed to be compatible with Langstroth hives – please check specific dimensions here.
*Can be used in conjunction with our Flow Hive Classic collection, however, there is a minor sizing difference in the external timber width. More information here.

It is important to understand some basic safety guidelines to ensure that your beekeeping experience is a safe and positive one.
Beekeeping suits and other personal protective equipment can offer excellent prevention against bee stings but are not 100 percent effective. It’s important new beekeepers exercise caution when tending to their hives and are comfortable with the fact that sooner or later, all beekeepers get stung.
