Reversible wooden bottom board with built-in entrance reducer. Flip it one way for a deep entrance (summer), flip it the other for a shallow entrance (winter). The entrance reducer slides in for even more control. Standard 10-frame size.

Double Screen Board

Double Screen Board

A double screened bottom board (Snelgrove board) for 10-frame Langstroth hives. Used to overwinter a smaller colony above a stronger one, or to help manage swarming by splitting colonies vertically.

Entrance Feeder

Entrance Feeder

Entrance feeder (Boardman feeder) holds an inverted mason jar of syrup at the hive entrance. Easy to check syrup levels without opening the hive. Great for spring feeding. Includes the feeder base - use your own wide-mouth mason jar.

Entrance Reducer (2-Pack)

Entrance Reducer (2-Pack)

Pack of two beeswax-coated cedar entrance reducers for standard 10-frame Langstroth hives. Two notch sizes let you control traffic and ventilation, use the smaller opening in winter or for weak colonies to help bees defend against pests and cold drafts, and switch to the larger opening as the colony grows. The natural beeswax coating keeps the wood protected and matches the material of the hive itself. Measures 14.60" × 0.74" × 0.74".

Frame Feeder w/ Cap & Ladder

Frame Feeder w/ Cap & Ladder

Frame-style feeder that sits inside the hive box and replaces one or two frames, bees access the syrup without you needing to open the hive. Holds up to 1 gallon of sugar syrup. The wooden cap system and internal wall supports add structural strength, and the built-in ladder prevents bees from drowning. Available in deep (2" wide, 9¼" deep) and medium (3" wide, 6¼" deep) sizes to fit standard 10-frame Langstroth hives.

Inner Cover 10 Frame

Moisture Quilt

Moisture Quilt
