Witbee Beehive Screened Bottom Board – 10-Frame Langstroth, Beeswax-Dipped, Entrance Reducer

Overview

The Witbee Beehive Screened Bottom Board is built for Langstroth 10-frame hives. It features a screened base that supports airflow and a natural 100% beeswax finish that adds a warm tone to the wood while helping to protect exposed surfaces. An entrance reducer is included to help regulate hive access as seasons change.

Seasonal readiness

In hot and dry months, airflow through the screened base can aid in temperature balance. In damp or showery periods, the beeswax finish helps the wood resist outdoor exposure. The design aims to support straightforward adjustments across the beekeeping calendar.

Smart ventilation for warm days

The screened bottom promotes continuous air movement at the hive floor, which can help reduce humidity buildup and create steadier indoor conditions as bees come and go through the entrance. The effect is a low-friction surface that remains easy to inspect.

Beeswax finish and weather resilience

The 100% beeswax dip delivers a natural protective layer, giving the wood a soft luster and a smoother surface for seasonal inspections. The finish also reduces direct exposure to the elements, supporting longer-lasting components.

Compatibility, durability, and ease of use

With industry standard Langstroth dimensions, this bottom board is designed to be interchangeable with other 10-frame components. It arrives ready to install, with zero assembly required. The solid wood construction emphasizes sturdiness and is designed to resist warping over time.

Care and maintenance
