Overview

The bottom board is the foundation for your hive. A bottom board of any type is an essential piece of equipment as you can’t have a standard Langstroth hive without one. The migratory pine bottom creates an opening for your bees to enter and exit. Our migratory pine bottom boards come with a 3/8 opening for bees to travel in and out. They work best in climates that tend to be warmer with less rain. Commercial and sideliner beekeepers prefer them since their hives are always moving to the warmest regions of the country and generally don’t experience much rainy weather. The migratory pine bottoms are made from strong, sturdy pine with tongue and groove construction. Both of these characteristics provide for extra durability and prevent warping. The migratory pine bottom measures 22.8125 long by 16.3125 wide and will fit a 10 frame hive.
