Ever wanted to collect your own honeycomb? An ideal, or shallow super is the most popular way to collect and sell honeycomb, with conveniently sized frames. 

It’s also the perfect size for extra winter honey reserves for your bees. The box and frames are smaller in depth so the bees can fill them quickly. 

These sustainably sourced New Zealand Radiata Pine ideal supers are manufactured in Langstroth ideal 8 or 10 frame sizing.

They can be used for brood, or as an additional ideal sized honey super.

The Flow Ideal Super includes our unique V™ design which also doubles as a feature handle. 

Including 8 or 10 foundationless ideal frames for the bees to naturally build their comb, which can also accommodate wax, wire or plastic foundation.

Made in New Zealand from durable, FSC Certified Radiata Pine, these ideal supers are the perfect addition to any existing hive set-up.

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.
