I like convenience this board gives if we need to move the bees. Quick and easy to close them in.

Thanks for the upgrade options
I have been using wooden hives for several years and I have upgraded boxes to 2x12, 1 1/2” versus 3/4” boards. I am phasing all of the 3/4” boxes to be swarm traps, but for the three thick box hives, I like that I can upgrade them to get another 3-4 years of use as I upgrade to all Apimaye hives.

Landing board
I came to this site to hopefully find an Apimaye landing board that would fit my brand new Apimaye hives and agree with the previous comment- yes it would be nice if they could add an option of a larger landing board to their hives. Thank you

Make the landing boards available for new Apimaye standard hives
My old wooden hives had a larger landing board surface as compared to my new Apimaye hives. Apimaye makes a larger landing board, but it only can be applied to older wooden hives. I bought several without realizing this. I modified them with a couple of simple metal brackets and they work great on my new Apimaye hives. I would like to see Apimaye incorporate this feature (option/standard) into their future hives development. Photos on Apimaye Facebook group.
Thanks, J-
