This combination aims to provide a sturdy, weather-smart foundation for your hive while supporting steady airflow. The board arrives ready to install, built from solid wood for lasting stability, and designed to fit standard hive footprints for flexible use.
Beyond a simple base, this screened bottom board offers tangible, realworld benefits that many beekeepers value. The beeswax coating helps shield the wood from the elements, while the screened design promotes airflow beneath the colony. This can contribute to a cooler, better-ventilated environment during warmer months, helping bees regulate temperature more naturally.
With a footprint that fits standard hive configurations, the bottom board measures 14 x 22 x 2-9/16 inches. The beeswax finish adds a tactile warmth to the surface, while the solid wood frame delivers dependable support for seasonal changes. This setup is particularly suitable for beekeepers in hot climates or during extended summer periods where ventilation is a priority.
If you are updating an existing hive or outfitting a new setup, this bottom board offers a straightforward, practical upgrade focused on airflow, durability, and sustainable materials.
