Apimaye Insulated Medium Super – Lightweight, Durable, and Easy to Handle

The Apimaye Insulated 10 Frame Medium Super is the perfect addition to your beekeeping setup, designed for superior insulation, durability, and ease of use. With an R-value of 7, this super provides exceptional thermal protection, keeping your bees comfortable in extreme temperatures—whether in the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

Just like our deep supers, Apimaye’s Insulated Medium Super is the only one on the market with stainless steel latches and built-in ergonomic handles. The side handles allow for easier lifting with your entire body, reducing strain on your forearms.

This medium super stacks seamlessly with other Apimaye equipment while remaining fully compatible with wooden Langstroth supers. You can place Apimaye supers on top of wooden supers, or place wooden supers on top of Apimaye supers, since they share the same inner dimensions. It is a standard 10-frame Langstroth size, allowing you to use it with your existing wooden frames for added flexibility.

Why Choose a Medium Super?

Many beekeepers prefer medium supers over deep supers for their lighter weight – A full medium super is significantly easier to lift than a full deep super, making hive management and honey harvesting easier on your back.

Built to Last – No Painting, No Hassle

Apimaye medium supers come fully assembled—ready to use right out of the box. No need to spend time assembling, painting, or maintaining them like wooden supers. They are made from food-grade plastic with UV additives, ensuring they do not become brittle over time. Unlike wooden supers, they will not rot and have a significantly longer lifespan. When it is time to clean, simply use a pressure washer to remove any buildup quickly and efficiently.
