Wonderjune 10-Frame Solar Fume Board for Beekeeping — Classic Black Corrugated Top, Wood & Felt Durable

This compact board combines a felt medicine reservoir with a corrugated plastic top to disperse gentle fumes into a 10-frame hive. Designed to sit on the topmost box, the board relies on direct sun to warm the surface and volatilize a treatment applied to the felt underside. Built from wood, glued and nailed for durability, it offers a low-effort way to move bees during harvest without electrical or chemical equipment.

How does the solar fume board work during honey extraction?

Place medicine in a zigzag or X pattern on the felt side, set the board over the honey super with the corrugated plastic side up, and let sunlight do the rest. Heat causes the applied substance to vaporize and spread through the frames, encouraging bees to move down into lower boxes or brood chamber.

• Apply treatment on the felt base in a zigzag or X layout for even diffusion.
• Orient corrugated plastic upward so sun-facing heat transfers into the hive.
• Use on clear sunny days for best natural volatilization.
• No batteries or pump; relies on passive solar heating.

What materials and dimensions should I expect with this board?

The Wonderjune fume board is primarily constructed from wood with a felt base and a black corrugated plastic top. The finished dimensions are about 20.08 x 16.14 x 1.18 inches (51 x 41 x 3 cm), fitting 10-frame hives and built to withstand seasonal use.

• Primary materials: wood frame, felt absorption layer, corrugated plastic top.
• Size suitable for 10-frame universal hive setups (51 x 41 x 3 cm).
• Joined with glue and nails for long-term reliability.

How do I use and maintain the solar fume board safely?

Coat only the felt surface with the recommended treatment, avoid over-saturating, and place the board properly on the top super. After use, clean or replace the felt as needed and store the board dry to prevent warping or mold.

• Follow label directions on any treatment you use; do not apply directly to bees or brood.
• Replace or refresh felt when absorption declines or contamination appears.
• Store flat in a cool, dry place to preserve glue and wood integrity.

Who this product is for: The Wonderjune 10-frame solar fume board is intended for hobbyist and small-scale beekeepers who want a low-tech, portable method to encourage bees to leave the honey super during harvest. It suits operators using conventional 10-frame hives who prefer passive, sun-driven tools and value durable construction that lasts through repeated seasons. If you need an uncomplicated extraction aid that fits standard equipment and doesn’t require power, this board is a practical addition to your beekeeping toolkit.
