Screened Bottom Board 8F

The tray style (opens in back) means that you do not have to disassemble the hive to clean the tray or check your mite drop count. A sticky board can be placed on the tray to monitor or evaluate mite loads.

All bottom boards include an entrance reducer. The entrance height is 3/4″ and you can adjust the bee traffic with the entrance reducer. With the 3/4″ high entrance, this bottom board is compatible with most oxalic acid vaporizes that are inserted through the entrance (most vaporizers require a minimum entrance height of 1/2″ and other screened bottom boards are only 1/4″ high).

This bottom board offers a flat entrance, which is ideal to use with entrance feeders, entrance pollen traps, mouse guards, robbing screens, and any other gadget that was developed to attach on the front of a hive, with a flat entrance.

Remove the corrugated plastic tray (included) to have a screened bottom board fully open (in summer, for example).

Compatible only with 8-frame equipment. We also have 10-frame and 5-frame screened boards which can be found under the respective hive category.
