Screened Bottom Board with Landing Board

Designed for beekeepers looking for a hive base that is simple, durable, and practical, this Apinovar-style screened bottom board with landing board is a useful component for improving both hive comfort and day-to-day management. Built for a 10-frame Langstroth hive, it combines a screened bottom that promotes better airflow with an integrated landing board, giving bees a practical surface at the hive entrance.

Its screened bottom helps improve ventilation inside the hive, which is especially valuable during warmer periods. The landing board adds everyday convenience by supporting activity at the colony entrance while completing the design with a practical structure suited to regular beekeeping use.

Practical, sturdy, and well suited to the everyday needs of the apiary, this model is a strong choice for beekeepers seeking a functional and durable hive component. Its design also makes it well suited to the realities of the Canadian climate when hives are exposed to outdoor conditions.
