A honey super is a box that is placed on top of the brood box for the bees to put honey in.
Making sure you place the queen excluder between these boxes to ensure the queen doesn’t lay upstairs.
Generally you have two honey supers per hive. This give a place for the bees to collect and store honey.
Once the box is full of honey and capped, you take the honey away and extract it. Then placing the box back on to repeat the process.
On a average year you may get between 60-80KG of honey a year, per hive.
