Bob, I tend to try reserve the term super, be it deep or shallow,for a box added for the collection of honey for harvest, and use the term "hive body" or "hive box" be it deep or shallow for the brood nest boxes. I know that doesn't always work, and I sometimes have to backtrack and correct myself even now, but maybe it helps to keep things clear. Of course this applies to Langstroth equipment. Glad to hear you have hives that survived.
