I have a paradise honey bee box from MB. if you look on the site its the jumbo langstroth with 2 medium bodies for supers.

Ive been out today and brought some medium langstroth frames (6 1/4 inch depth...top bar 19 inch) to fit the medium bodies.

Ive pushed a few together to test the size...1 in brood and 1 in each super and stacked them on each other.

The frames tops and bottoms rest on each other and push each one slightly higher through the boxes pushing the bars off the runners.

I assumed you needed medium frames for medium boxes or should i have got the shallow frames (5 3/8 inch) obviously!!!
