Introducing our Beehive Mesh Bottom Board, expertly designed to promote hive health while offering superior pest control and ventilation features. This innovative board incorporates a beetle trap and a range of enhancements to keep your bees safe, comfortable, and productive throughout the year.
At the heart of this bottom board is a fine mesh screen that allows bees to naturally expel beetles and other pests. The bees push these unwanted intruders through the mesh, where they fall into a removable trap tray located below. This tray can be filled with oil or diatomaceous earth, providing a chemical-free method of trapping and eliminating pests. This method is not only effective in controlling beetles but also helps keep your hive healthy without the need for harsh treatments.
Our bottom board is designed with a slanted entrance, a feature that sets it apart from traditional flat designs. This slope helps prevent water from collecting at the hive entrance during rain, ensuring that your bees always have a dry, safe entry point. By directing rainwater away from the hive, the slanting design helps reduce moisture issues that can otherwise lead to hive damage or disease.
To further protect the hive from excess moisture, the bottom board is equipped with rubber-coated feet. These elevate the hive slightly off the ground, creating a barrier against moisture from wet surfaces or rainy conditions. This feature is crucial in maintaining the structural integrity of your hive by preventing moisture-related problems such as mold, mildew, or wood rot.
When temperatures rise above 30°C (86°F), proper ventilation is essential to prevent overheating and excess humidity inside the hive. The bottom board includes a removable tray that, when taken out, improves airflow and helps regulate the internal temperature of the hive. This feature is particularly useful during hot summer months, when increased ventilation is needed to ensure the bees remain comfortable and avoid heat stress.
However, during cooler seasons or times when beetle infestations are a concern, the tray should remain in place to continue serving its purpose as an effective trap.
This Beehive Mesh Bottom Board offers a complete solution for keeping your hive pest-free, well-ventilated, and dry, ensuring your bees thrive in any season.
