Super (Hive Box)
A super, or Zarge in German, is an individual box or story of a modular hive system. Brood supers contain the brood nest where the queen lays eggs, while honey supers placed above serve for surplus honey storage. Supers can be stacked as needed to accommodate colony growth and honey production.
