8FR Reversible Bottom Board

The bottom board serves as the foundation and entrance to the hive. Our two-sided, reversible beehive bottom board has a 1/8" entrance on one side and a 3/4" entrance on the other. Comes fully assembled: screwed not nailed.

Includes wooden entrance reducer for winter use or new hives.

Hints

• Remember to clean out your bottom board in the spring. Debris builds up during the winter and can be easily removed with a hive tool.
• Place your hive as level as possible but with a slight tilt forward, so the front of the bottom board is 3/8" lower than the back. This will prevent water from pooling in the back of the hive.
• When painting the beehive bottom board, remember to paint the "landing zone" that is exposed to outside elements.

Dimensions

• 22" long x 14" wide x 1-7/8" high (8 frame)
