Beekeeping terminology. A BROOD BOX is where the bees live and breed. A SUPER BOX is where the worker bees store honey. The queen bee should not be able to get to the super because there is a QUEEN EXCLUDER in the which she cannot fit through. FRAMES are placed in the brood box and super with FOUNDATION made from sheets of beeswax. The bees the 'draw comb' onto the foundation, that is they extend it into hexagonal cells where they tend the eggs that the queen lays, or store honey that they forage. The hive contains mostly WORKERS who are all female, a few male DRONES and usually just one QUEEN. Workers become GUARD BEES and the FORAGERS. *** Thanks for looking at our pictures, and especially if you like them enough to buy some. Thanks also to our fab photogenic ladies for just being bees **
