Same bottom board that comes with the Hive Kit for Apimaye Supers (Super Kit).

The bottom board can be used with both Apimaye deep and medium supers. Comes with 2 latches to latch them easily to the supers.

Please note that the product comes with a brown adapter installed to put the medium supers. To use with deep supers, please remove the adapter first.

Please note that Apimaye currently has 3 different bottom boards available in the US.

Bottom board for Ergo hive
Bottom board for wooden hives
Bottom board for Apimaye supers (This product)

This bottom board can only be used with the Apimaye deep super or medium super. This bottom board can NOT be used to replace an existing Apimaye Ergo hive bottom board to make it with latches. The Apimaye brood box (The one with the ID tag holder) does not have the grooves to latch the box to the bottom board.

Never going back to Wood!

After I started beekeeping, my wife purchased a Apimaye hive for me for Christmas. My mentor for beekeeping rolled his eyes thinking that it was a waste of money. It ended up saving money by not having any winter losses. Plus my colonies are raring to go when the season starts. They are producing honey very early. Since then I use my wood hives as stands for my Apimaye hives. Only under duress would I put bees in a wooden hive again. He doesn't seem to worry about losing bees in the winter because he'll just buy more packages of bees, this isn't fair to the bees. I started beekeeping to get more bees in my area because I noticed a decline. Now my garden is thriving and my honey sales are supporting my supplies. I'm at the point where the hives paid for themselves. I also leave a good supply of honey for the bees in the winter, with these hives they don't seem to consume much because it keeps them at a better temperature. Keep up the good work!

product improvement suggestion

I have a small bee operation in NE Tennessee and I only use Apimaye hives. when they came out with this bottom board system for the double deep boxes I was so happy, one thing that I do is modify the entrance mouse guard. I cut out the mouse guards on one side. this allows the bees if there is a build up of dead bees to get them out of the hive where as with the mouse guard all across they can build up and then there are more problems once I made this modification I marked the side with S and F for summer and fall and have had no problems since with the removal of dead bees by the undertakers. I keep the smooth side open most and if there is robbing or other issues where I need to provide more protection I simply use the mouse guard side. Thank you Apimaye for making the absolute best bee hive on the market. If you use this product improvement idea please send me a cool tee-shirt :)

My favorite product offered

I absolutely love Apimaye hives, the only thing I wished was being able to take off the bottom box. With these I am able build my own hives with a removeable bottom. Yes, you can not use the divider boards with these, but I don't typically split my 10 frame boxes.
Also, while I do not run all mediums, this is perfect for the people who do run all mediums.

Needed something to help store extra supers

I was looking for a way to easily store extra supers while also providing an option should I need to make a quick NUC or extra space for the girls in the spring and this worked perfectly for that!

Works great like all apimaye products
