Give your bees a healthier, better-ventilated home with the Hoover Hives 8-Frame Wax Coated Screened Bottom Board with Entrance Reducer. Designed specifically for 8-frame Langstroth hives, this bottom board combines durability, ventilation, and smart hive control in one essential component.
Crafted with the same quality Hoover Hives is known for, this solid wood bottom board is coated in 100% natural beeswax, helping protect the wood from the elements while providing a bee-friendly, chemical-free surface. The natural wax finish not only looks great, it also blends beautifully into your apiary and supports a more natural hive environment.
The screened bottom design improves airflow through the hive, helping reduce moisture buildup and supporting strong colony health. It also aids in passive pest management by allowing debris and mites to fall through the screen rather than lingering inside the hive.
An integrated entrance reducer gives you greater control over hive activity and security. Use it to narrow the entrance during cooler months, when installing new packages or nucs, or whenever you want to help your bees defend against robbing and pests.
Perfect for both new and experienced beekeepers, this 8-frame screened bottom board is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in hive performance and long-term durability.
