10-Frame Langstroth Screened Bottom Board — Beeswax-Coated with Entrance Reducer

Product description

Solid-wood construction: The board is built from robust, solid wood to withstand seasonal wear and provide a stable base for your hive.

Beeswax immersion: Each bottom board is fully coated in pure beeswax, creating a naturally attractive surface that can help your bees accept the new component more quickly and provide a protective, sanitary layer.

Screen and entrance reducer included: The product comes with a screened floor for improved ventilation and pest management, plus a built-in entrance reducer to help control traffic and allow easier colony defense.

Ready to install: No assembly is required. Remove from the packaging and place beneath your 10-frame Langstroth hive; the unit is intended for immediate use.

Standard 10-frame fit and dimensions: Designed to mate with standard Langstroth 10-frame boxes, the board measures 16-1/4" x 22" x 2-9/16" to ensure a secure and consistent fit. The combination of natural materials and enhanced airflow supports a healthier internal hive environment.

    Well-made and ready to use

    Nicely constructed unit that includes a screen and a cold-weather insert. The materials feel durable and it should last many seasons. No assembly was needed and it sat right under my 8-frame box. Ready to install straight from the package — I'll get another when I split my hive.
