• Each corner has two 38mm long galvanised staples. Very secure.
• The hardboard is oil tempered and smooth both sides. Durable and doesn’t get chewed by the bees.

Options:

Rim

Treated - This is where the wooden rim has been dipped in hot micro-crystalline wax prior to assembly. This makes it far more durable and longer lasting.

Untreated - The Russian Pine treat is left in its natural state untreated. 

Feeder Hole

No hole - The hive mat remains as a normal conventional hive mat

Feeder Hole - this is where the hive mat has a hole put in a corner with a plug to suit. This allows for filling a frame feeder by just lifting the lid and taking the plug off. Usually barley disturbing the bees.
