ABSTRACT:
For use in a beehive, a molded plastic super having rectangularly arranged vertically extending walls including end walls and side walls. Each side wall provides, at its ends, vertically spaced apart openings while each end wall provides, at its ends, integrally molded tenons resiliently snapped into engagement with the openings in the adjacent side wall end, thereby rigidly to connect the walls. A molded plastic bottom board upon which the super rests is provided, the bottom board having a rectangularly shaped planar intermediate portion with opposing sides and ends and with an upwardly projecting outer perimetral wall extending longitudinally along the sides and one of the ends to provide an upwardly facing surface upon which the side walls and one end wall of the super rest. The bottom board also provides an inner perimetral wall extending longitudinally alongside each outer wall and projecting upwardly into the super to position the walls thereof. Locating tabs extend downwardly from the super walls to engage into recesses in the bottom board. The bottom board is constructed such that it may be used as the top cover of the hive. A molded plastic inner cover for the super is provided.
