Beehive Floors

Very sturdy construction with a vented base. This allows better ventilation in the hive and for the bees to control humidity more efficiently.

Allows excellent ventilation when shifting beehives. The plastic dowels locate the Technosetbee brood box. The dowels can be removed and the floor has 5 locator studs built into the floor to locate standard wooden brood boxes.

Commonly used around the world with standard wooden equipment.

13% of the available base area is open to air flow and is designed to deflect strong winds away from the bees.

A Standard solid plastic base floor is also available.

Supplied ready to use and completely non-toxic to bees. With a life expectancy of over 20 years, these products save the beekeeper a lot of time and money. No assembly, paint or preservatives are required. They won't rot or split.

A pair of Entry Guards are supplied with every floor. (No extra cost) There are two types available and need to be specified when the floors are ordered. There is a reversible type and the standard type. These are locked in place by the Super. The top piece clicks down to prevent bee movement while shifting. They keep mice out and help the bees to control wasp entry. They can be switched to prevent bees escaping while shifting a hive and can be removed during the honey flow to allow maximum entry size.

Anti-wasp plate for Technoset floors.

This black plastic sheet slots perfectly on to a Technoset floor. It reduces the entrance to a small square hole right close to the cluster during winter. This stops wasps as they don't like the dark tunnel from the front entrance to the inside entrance. It also makes it easier for the bees to defend themselves.

Accessories available for Hivemaster base include:

Coreflute Mouse guard: 

Entrance reducer for the Hivemaster floors

These are included with the floor but if you have lost yours or want spare, get them now!

Also work well on a lot of other wooden bases

Coreflute Vent Blocker:

This is for covering up the mesh to stop any ventilation going through the bottom of the floor.

Often used in climates with harsh winters.

Coreflute Wasp Guard Plate:

This plate slides in on specially designed ridge to suit.

It restricts the entrance to a small opening directly under the brood nest.

It creates a tunnel entrance and also better defense - both things wasp's don't like.

It also has an optional entrance reducer fitted to reduce the entrance to about 3-4 bees wide

The floor is not included in any of these options
