BeeQuestify 10-Frame Screened Bottom Board — Beeswax Dipped Cedar with Entrance Reducer

Durable Cedar, Beeswax Dipped Bottom Board for 10-Frame Langstroth Hives

Designed for beekeepers who value longevity and straightforward maintenance, this bottom board blends the warmth of premium cedar with the natural protection of a beeswax dip. The cedar's grain textures your apiary scene while the beeswax finish helps shield the wood from damp and wear. Sized for standard 10-frame Langstroth hives, it supports reliable installation and a familiar workflow during inspections.

Why the design matters

The board's components are chosen to balance durability and practicality. A heavy-duty metal insert replaces fragile plastic, giving you a sturdy foundation that endures season after season. The woven wire mesh facilitates airflow, which helps manage humidity inside the colony and can help you monitor activity with clearer visibility at a glance.

Key benefits at a glance

Real-world uses and considerations

In practice, the board can support flexible seasonal adjustments, provide a visual cue of hive activity through airflow, and simplify routine hygiene tasks. The beeswax layer adds a natural barrier against moisture where appropriate, while the metal insert keeps the build solid in varying weather. You can expect faster inspections and easier cleaning when debris or wax needs to be cleared.

Installation tips

To install, place the board on the hive floor, align the entrance with your hive's current reducer, and slide the metal insert into position. The product ships fully assembled, so you can start monitoring right away.
