Another high quality Apimaye product for traditional woodwear, would love if kit included latches to secure brood or super boxes!

Great items!
I converted my wood boxes to hybrids recently. Got the bottom boards, top covers and feeders. I LOVE them! So easy to use and I know they will stand the test of time, unlike wood. I will definitely be switching over to full Apimayes as needed. Very pleased with this product.

Great products
I now have hybrid beehives. I bought 2 bottom and 2 top cover/ feeders. I have a mechanical back ground so installation was easy. I am going to convert 2 more hives soon. I like the bottom board and am not worried about it rotting out, I like the entrance and the fact I can close and lock it if need be. I was shopping for top feeders when I said this is a no brainer, I live in S.C. so It gets really hot here and I am happy it is vented.Now I am waiting for my bees to come in the spring, unfortunately my bees did not survive my 1st year as a beekeeper.

Great cover
I read that this cover will fit my regular 10 frame wood hive. And it does. I used a strap to keep it in place.
I think it is a great product if your whole hive is Apimaye hive, but it also works with regular hives.
I attached these to my bottom board for wooden hives using rivets and its been sturdy so far. If only there were a way to quickly release the entrance reducer. I may have to go to a wooden reducer just so I don't have to remove the screws if I want to remove the box from the bottom board.
This is the best 8-frame bottom board that I have found. There's no comparison to any other bottom board made. This is by far hands down the best bottom board.
Being well into my sixties I find this size to be much more manageable. Although I would like a bigger feeder they don’t hold enough. Or a feeder shim. Keep up the good work
I have several 7 and 10 frame hives and really like these for their versatility-my Swiss Army Knife in the apiary. I use the 7 frame hives as my mating nucs and can combine them if a queen fails to get mated or if I have a weaker colony that needs a smaller space. I like these feeders and the ability to close a colony up easily and move it if needed. I am slowly incorporating more of these hives into my beekeeping operation.
