The 8/10 frames mesh bottom board with beetle trap and rubber-coated feet is made to boost your beekeeping experience. Created from premium New Zealand pine, this board provides both robust support and natural defences against pests and moisture. Built to fit both 8 and 10-frame hives, it combines thoughtful design with practical functionality to meet the demands of serious beekeepers.
This bottom board’s fine mesh screen is a unique asset in controlling unwanted beetles. Bees instinctively push intruders through the mesh, where they fall into a removable trap tray below. With a quick addition of oil or diatomaceous earth, the tray traps pests safely, providing a natural, chemical-free solution to pest management.
Pest Prevention, Naturally: The mesh screen lets bees dispose of beetles, keeping hive pests at bay.
Easy-to-Clean Trap Tray: The removable tray below the mesh can be emptied, cleaned, and reset with ease.
Moisture control is critical for the endurance of your hive, and our uniquely slanted entrance makes sure that water flows away from the hive. Far from flat entrances that can accumulate rainwater, this sloped design keeps your hive’s entrance dry, preventing mould and mildew.
Angled Entrance: Directs rainwater away, reducing moisture at the hive entry.
Enhanced Hive Health: Keeps water from collecting, minimizing the risk of moisture-related issues.
Wet conditions can lead to rot and wood decay, which is why we added rubber-coated feet to lift the board off the ground. These feet offer stable support while providing a moisture barrier, crucial for hives placed directly on damp ground or exposed to rainfall.
Lift Base with Rubber Feet: Provides stability and minimizes ground moisture exposure.
Durable Structure: NZ Pine combined with rubber-coated feet ensures endurance and strength.
During hot summer months, bees need airflow to manage internal hive temperatures. The removable tray in our bottom board can be removed to allow extra ventilation on hot days, helping reduce humidity and preventing hive overheating. When beetle protection is a priority, slide the tray back in for effective pest control.
Customizable Ventilation: Easily remove the tray for added airflow in summer.
Seasonal Adaptability: This keeps bees comfortable and safe from heat stress.
This board offers a comprehensive solution for keeping your hive pest-free, dry, and well-ventilated, ensuring a healthier environment for your bees. The unique mixture of creative pest control, moisture management, and adaptable ventilation makes it an indispensable addition to any beekeeper’s setup.
Multifunctional Design: Combines beetle control and ventilation in one efficient unit.
Enhanced Hive Longevity: Premium NZ pine with moisture-resistant features for long-term durability.
Easy Maintenance: Removable tray for simple cleaning and setup adjustments.
From beetle control to moisture management, this 8/10 frames mesh, bottom board, is a thoughtfully designed solution to meet the challenges of modern beekeeping.
