Hive Mat - 21mm Rim
790-0011-W
Price excludes GST
Top quality hive mat assembled in NZ.
Assembled with a 21mm thick wooden frame and 4mm marine grade plywood. 507mm x 407mm. 15 per carton.
If you want extra space above the brood nest for feeding, treatments, or seasonal hive management, see our 40mm Hive Mat Rim.
Options:
Treated - The wooden rim is dipped in hot micro-crystalline wax prior to assembly. This makes it far more durable and longer lasting.

Hive Mat - 40mm Rim

Price excludes GST
Top quality hive mat assembled in NZ.

The space under the plywood on the shallow side is 8mm.

Why would you choose a 40mm rim over a 21mm rim?
The 40mm rim gives you extra space above the brood nest, making it a great option if you want room for feeding, treatments, or seasonal hive management.
If you prefer a lower-profile option, see our 21mm Hive Mat Rim.
Options:

V-Gate Hive Mat
790-0011-FVG-W
Price excludes GST
Top Quality Hive Mat assembled in NZ — now available with V-Gate.
This NZ-assembled hive mat is built with a 21mm thick wooden rim and durable 4mm plywood centre board. Choose the standard version, or upgrade to the new V-Gate vapour port for easier, cleaner and more consistent oxalic acid vaporization.
The V-Gate is a dedicated vaporizing access point built into the 21mm rim. Instead of pushing a vaporizer through timber or using temporary access points, the V-Gate uses a metal-on-metal plate design to help reduce wear, maintain better nozzle alignment and make repeat treatments faster and more reliable.
It is recommended to drill a 10mm hole in the lid to align with the V-Gate so that the lid does not need to be removed for vapour applications.

Top Quality Division Board assembled in NZ — designed for splitting, merging, upper entrances, and optional V-Gate vaporization access.
This NZ-assembled division board is built with a strong wooden rim and durable plywood board. It can be used as a division board, merge board or hive mat depending on your hive management setup.

The optional V-Gate Vaporizing port is a dedicated access point built into the division board rim for easier, cleaner and more consistent oxalic acid vaporizing application.

Dipped — the wooden rim has been dipped in hot micro-crystalline wax prior to assembly, making it far more durable and longer lasting.

Front Entry — includes a front entrance cut-out for upper-hive access.
Side Entry — includes a side entrance cut-out for upper-hive access.
Front V-Gate — fitted with the V-Gate vapour port on the front of the divider board.
Side V-Gate — fitted with the V-Gate vapour port on the side of the divider board.
Choose the entry and V-Gate positions that best suit your hive setup, yard layout and treatment workflow.
For example, a front entry is ideal when the upper section should fly from the front, while a side entry can help keep entrances separated during split management.
Important option note: Front Entry cannot be selected with Front V-Gate, and Side Entry cannot be selected with Side V-Gate. Choose opposite positions if both an entry and V-Gate are required.
