You thought of everything, all my existing equipment (wood boxes) are getting this update.

They just blow your old school bottom boards out the water. Worth every penny. I used another brand of screened bottom board prior. Lots of dead bees in that other brand getting trapped between the board and screen. This board, essentially zero.

What is really best, is the ability to put diatomaceous earth in the bottom of the pullout tray. It literally wrecks small hive beetles. This feature alone is worth it. Don’t have to fumble with the between frames traps. You pour a bit in the bottom tray, spread it out, push it back in. When I pull it out, literally a killing field of beetles. After a few weeks over 100. Now I don’t even see SHB alive, ever.

The pollen trap is also convenient and practical. Now if I could just get apimaye to produce a cloake board, I’d be set. It’s really the only thing keeping me from going apimaye hives across the board.

Easiest way to collect pollen and keep the mice out and vent the hive in the summer

I discovered these at the 2024 EAS conference. My order for 3 was delivered more quickly than expected. Set up instructions were great. Quality and fit are top notch. They integrated well with my 10 frame wooden boxes. Highly recommend.

I originally purchased 2 of these, now have 5 total. For me they work great and allow me to manage the hives easily and effectively. I like the removable tray at bottom and the adjustable entrance, I’ve already adjusted it for robbing bees this year, real simple I like it. Looking fwd to using the pollen traps next year.
