Screen Bottom Boards
$17.00
A screened bottom board that swaps the solid floor for mesh — boosting ventilation and letting Varroa mites fall through and out of the hive. A year-round favorite for healthier colonies and easy mite monitoring.
Features
- Sturdy frame with a steel mesh floor.
- Improves airflow and drops mites out of the brood nest.
- Fits standard Langstroth equipment — 5, 8, or 10 frame.
How it works
Set your brood box on the screened board. Workers ventilate the hive more easily, and mites that groom off fall through the mesh instead of climbing back onto bees.
Before you order
Choose the size that matches your hive body — 5, 8, or 10 frame. Want a removable counting tray? See the insert version below.
