NUOMIC 10-Frame Screened Bottom Board for Langstroth Hives — Beeswax-Dipped Cedar, Removable Debris Tray

NUOMIC 10-frame screened bottom board is a precision-crafted, beeswax-dipped cedar base with metal screening and a removable debris tray designed to increase summer airflow in standard Langstroth hives.

This screened bottom board replaces a solid bottom board to help improve ventilation and hive hygiene without invasive handling. Constructed from selected cedar and finished with a double beeswax dip, the board is built to resist weather and last through changing seasons. It comes fully assembled for a straightforward swap into any 10-frame Langstroth hive and includes a removable plastic tray to collect debris and make inspections easier.

How does the screened bottom board improve hive airflow?

The metal screen allows warm, stagnant air to escape from the brood chamber while drawing in cooler external air, assisting natural temperature regulation during hot weather. Better airflow can help reduce heat stress on the colony and maintain a steadier internal environment.

• Precision metal mesh promotes steady ventilation through the brood area.
• Open-screen design reduces trapped heat without compromising structural support.
• Works with your hive’s natural convection to move air without forced fans.

What features make this bottom board durable and easy to maintain?

NUOMIC’s bottom board uses selected cedar for natural resistance to rot and insect damage, then receives a double beeswax-dipping finish that improves water resistance and surface longevity. A removable plastic tray beneath the screen captures debris, making routine cleaning fast and minimizing disturbance to the colony.

• Double beeswax dip seals and protects the cedar wood from moisture and wear.
• Fully assembled design drops into a standard 10-frame Langstroth hive without modification.
• Removable tray slides out for quick cleaning and inspection of debris or varroa monitoring.

Will it fit my Langstroth 10-frame hive and how simple is installation?

This screened bottom board is sized specifically for standard 10-frame Langstroth hives and arrives fully assembled for immediate use. Installation is a simple swap with most solid bottom boards; no special tools are required and the design aligns with common frame and box dimensions.

• Engineered for a standard 10-frame Langstroth form factor and mounting points.
• Ready to use out of the box—no assembly needed.
• Compatible with typical hive stands and bottom board accessories.

How does the removable tray support hive health and management?

The pull-out plastic tray gathers dead bees, comb fragments, and other debris so beekeepers can inspect hive cleanliness without lifting boxes. Regular tray checks save time, reduce colony disturbance, and can be used as a non-intrusive way to monitor hive conditions over the season.

• Quick sliding tray enables frequent checks with minimal disturbance.
• Collects debris for easy disposal and hygiene maintenance.
• Useful as a visual aid for routine varroa or pest monitoring efforts.

Who is this for: NUOMIC’s 10-frame screened bottom board is intended for hobbyists and small-scale backyard beekeepers using 10-frame Langstroth hives who want a durable, low-maintenance upgrade to improve summer ventilation and hive cleanliness. It’s especially useful when preparing colonies for the warmer months or when aiming for easier, less disruptive inspections.
