$ 19.05
A a beekeeper, I have hundreds of supers I use during the nectar flow. The beautiful thing about these is that they hold up in even harshest weather. The wax seals any cracks and crevices making them wind and water tight right out of the box, assembled or assembled. I love not having to spend my winters repairing, sanding, and painting all of my painted supers. If and that’s if I need to repairs these I can do it without the added expense of new hardware and paint. Instead I warm up my rendered junk wax and simply brush it – or even pour it on the dove tailed joints then brush the excess over the rest of the super. If the joints are in good condition, I just use a chunk of hard wax and rub it over the surface – just like a surfboard. It couldn’t be easier. I’ve found this is only necessary every couple of years. I have never received a super that wasn’t in perfect usable condition right out of the box, which is a relief if you need to use it immediately. The extra wax you see around the joints is exactly how they should be – even if you buy it unassembled. Use a rubber mallet, putting a towel on the super instead of using it directly on the super. The extra wax immediately seals the corners, and when exposed to the sun during hot summers the leftover wax melds the joints together even more. As a Master Beekeeper and mentor I recommend these as supers or even as brood boxes if you find lifting a deep box is too heavy.
