Top/Bottom boards, different BEEKEEPING uses on beehives, BEEKEEPER SUPPLIES, Honeybee Bee Hive Top or Bottom Combination Boards

Below is today's project of building 120 top/bottom boards for the 60 splits I hope to make this week in the south Georgia cotton fields I pollinate. These are pressure treated 1/2 inch plywood with treated rails all coated in three coats of exterior paint.These are GREAT because of same size for either use. Also top can be flipped for a top entrance or when using a propolis trap for light penetration causing bees to seal faster plus top ventilation. Very helpful having a top entrance when using a queen excluder, the bees don't have to fight their way up to the supers.

These are made of pressure treated plywood and treated side rails

I also sell these here UNPAINTED $12 each or 20/more $10.

I DO NOT use them unpainted, 2-3 coats of exterior paint is used to seal them.
