- Subject: [ocba] building screened bottom board question
- Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:25:57 -0500
Hello! I am new to beekeeping, I'm taking the class right now. I'm building my first hive, and wonder if anyone can advise me about building a screened bottom board. Can I just build the regular board and cut the center out, attach hardware mesh, and use that?
The beesource website includes other plans that are more complicated, and show a separate slot to insert a second board under the meshed board. It is 3" tall instead of the regular 17/8" bottom boards. Is extra space under there a concern? It also shows inserting extra pieces at the entrance to fully seal it off. It seems overly complicated.
Thanks for your help!
