6 5/8" supers are mediums or Illinois

the frames are 6 1/4"

wax foundation is 5 5/8"


Please be sure and look at the bee supply catalog you are ordering from, there can be several different sizes.

and most of the places from which you will order are happy to help you out if you call.  they know it can be confusing and they'd rather help you with an order than manage a return or unhappy customer   ;)
