Hoover Hives' Screened Bottom Board: A Versatile Solution for Hive Ventilation

Hoover Hives' screened bottom board is an exceptional tool to enhance ventilation in your beehive during the summer months. With a well-ventilated hive, your bees can focus less on fanning out the heat and devote more time to crucial tasks like building comb, laying brood, and producing honey. Many beekeepers opt to use the screened bottom boards in the summer and switch to a solid bottom board as the weather cools.

Included with the screened bottom board is a plastic insert that can aid in pest prevention and monitoring strategies, providing beekeepers with a comprehensive solution for hive management.

Crafted for Durability and Aesthetics

Hoover Hives takes pride in their beautifully crafted, wax-coated beehives. Every exterior hive part that may encounter rain or snow is meticulously constructed using Fir wood and coated in 100% natural beeswax. This combination not only protects the wood from the elements but also imparts a natural, golden honey-like luster to the hives.

The decision to use Fir wood over the traditional Pine is a deliberate one, as Fir has a tighter grain-flow, making the exterior parts more durable and less prone to shrinking, expanding, warping, or twisting due to weather conditions.

After cutting the wood, Hoover Hives dips each part into a pool of natural beeswax, allowing the wax to be thoroughly absorbed by the hive components. This process not only safeguards the wood but also contributes to the hives' distinctive and appealing appearance.

Industry-Standard Dimensions and Compatibility

Hoover Hives' 10-frame hive parts adhere to the industry standard dimensions, ensuring seamless interchangeability with all other Langstroth 10-frame beehives. This allows beekeepers to easily integrate Hoover Hives' products into their existing hive setups.

Specifications: - Solid Bottom Board (100% Wax Coated): 16-1/4" x 22" x 2-9/16" - Plastic Insert: 14-1/2" x 18-1/4" x 3/16" - Entrance Reducer: 14-5/8" x 3/4" x 3" - Beeswax Coated Pre-Assembled Screened Bottom Board: 16-1/4" x 22" x 2-9/16"

In conclusion, Hoover Hives' screened bottom board is a versatile and well-crafted solution that combines functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making it an excellent choice for beekeepers looking to optimize their hive's ventilation and overall hive management.
