Varroa Screened Bottom Board

$44.00

Improve hive ventilation and monitor mite levels with our 10 Frame Varroa Screened Bottom Board, designed for effective integrated pest management and year‑round colony health. This bottom board features a durable screened design that allows natural mite drop while increasing airflow through the hive—helping reduce moisture, heat stress, and Varroa pressure.

The rear‑access drawer system makes mite monitoring simple. Just slide in a sticky board to perform accurate Varroa mite drop testing, then remove the drawer for quick inspection. During hot summer months, the drawer can be removed entirely to boost ventilation. When temperatures drop, simply reinstall the drawer to help the colony retain warmth for overwintering.
