This Cypress Solid Bottom Board serves as the floor of the hive, supporting all the weight of the boxes and frames on top of it. 

The solid bottom board differs from the screened bottom board in that the floor of the hive is a solid piece of wood. The solid wood floor keeps any drafts from coming into the hive and also makes it slightly easier for the beekeeper to control airflow inside the hive. Both bottom boards are an excellent choice and have worked well for beekeepers for decades. 

You can purchase your bottom boards assembled with Titebond Glue, staples, and nails, so you don't have to worry about it. 

The bottom board is closest to the ground, so it is often the most susceptible to rot. This is one area where our rot-resistant cypress wood shines, standing up to the elements. Changing out a rotten bottom board is not fun, and our bottom boards ensure you won't have to do that. 

You can choose if you'd like us to prime and paint your bottom board. 

You can purchase our other 10 Frame Hive parts to customize your hives.

Oil pans and bottom boards work great

I purchased oil pans and they would not fit on my bottom boards! This company said this might be the case so I ordered new bottom boards for my 8 frame hives. I saw these used with our bee club hives and I was impressed! It has rained since I received them however I did get one installed. I’m looking forward to getting all of them installed so I can monitor my hive beetle and varroa mite counts since I did a mite treatment the last part of July. Thanks to Foxhound for making the oil pans available and helping me figure out how to get everything put together.

Great Product

Purchased this with the small hive beetle tray to help mitigate the pest. Last year small hive beetles wiped out a hive and were super difficult to manage. Hoping that the addition of the tray with this great quality bottom board does the trick!
