It is available in both Top Bee Space and Bottom Bee Space versions. Only the Brood Box and Super, and their respective frames, are detailed here... The other components being selected from the "National" or "Rational" ranges. It is common for National supers to be used instead of the 16" x 6" version owing to the lesser weight of the former.
