8/10 Frames Mesh Bottom Board Rubber Feet With Beetle Trap

8/10 Frame Mesh Bottom Board With Beetle Trap And Rubber Feet

Ever wondered what’s happening underneath your hive?
While most eyes are on the queen and her workers above, it’s the hive base that quietly holds everything together—literally and biologically. That’s where the Hive Doctor Smart Mesh Bottom Board steps in.

Made for both 8-frame and 10-frame setups, this isn’t just a piece of wood and mesh—it’s your hive’s silent guardian, managing moisture, battling beetles, and giving your bees a healthier place to build, grow, and thrive.

Why Should The Bottom Of The Hive Do More Than Just Hold It Up?

Because you’re not raising bees just to get by. You want a thriving, pest-resistant, clean, and stable environment from the ground up. This bottom board—with smart airflow design and protective rubber feet—is made to work with nature’s rhythms, not against them.

It’s built for keepers who expect more from their beekeeping equipment, and who trust in the durability of OZ Armour.

What Makes It Smarter Than Your Average Hive Base?

🐞 Bye-Bye To Sneaky Beetles

If you’ve battled small hive beetles before, you know how fast things can go sideways. This board features a built-in beetle trap already doing the dirty work. As beetles slip through the mesh, they fall straight into the trap—no chemicals, no extra gadgets, no mercy. Just simple, clean pest control.

Can A Bottom Board Help Bees Breathe Easier?

Absolutely.

Ventilation isn’t just about comfort—it’s about survival. This board comes with integrated airflow channels that balance humidity and regulate temperature. From sweltering summers to damp spring mornings, your colony stays healthier with every breath.

And when you're suited up in your beekeeping suits or outfitting your helpers in beekeeping kids suits, you’ll notice the difference during inspections: less stress, more stability.

Designed For Real-World Conditions, Not Just Blueprints

🟫 Rubber Feet That Make a Difference

Most hives don’t sit on perfect ground. That’s why this base includes durable rubber feet, lifting your hive just enough to stay off soggy soil, avoid rot, and remain level—even on uneven terrain.

💧 Rainwater? Not A Problem

Thanks to the sloped entrance, water flows away from the hive instead of creeping in. Cleaner landings. Drier chambers. Less worry.

🔍 Effortless Maintenance

The galvanized slide-out tray gives you access to the hive’s underbelly—no disturbance, no dismantling.

• Need better airflow? Remove the tray.

• Trapping pests or sealing in warmth? Slide it back in.

Smart design = low effort beekeeping.

Built To Last

Constructed from premium, weather-resistant wood and finished with a galvanized metal tray, this bottom board is made to go the distance—season after season.

Size Options:

• 8-Frame: 540 mm x 360 mm x 110 mm

• 10-Frame: 540 mm x 410 mm x 110 mm

Add it to your lineup of beekeeping tools and equipment for a setup that’s truly built to perform.

What Sets This Board Apart From The Pile Of “Just Okay” Options?

You’ll find plenty of mesh boards out there. But how many actually solve real problems?

This bottom board isn’t just a platform—it’s a:

• Pest barrier

• Ventilation system

• Cleaning shortcut

• Weather shield

Every feature serves a purpose. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just a hive base that works with you—not against you.

What’s Holding Up Your Hive, And Is It Doing Enough?
