Description

The National Crown Board is an essential component in beekeeping, particularly for the British National Hive system. It plays a crucial role in the hive structure, providing a barrier between the super and the brood box. This crown board features two Porter Bee Escapes, which help to efficiently manage the movement of bees and honey storage.

Product Features:

• Size: 46cm x 46cm
  • Perfectly sized for National Beehive setups.
• Material:
  Made of high-quality, durable wood, the crown board is sturdy and well-suited for long-term use in a beekeeping environment.
• Porter Bee Escapes:
  This crown board comes with two Porter Bee Escapes, which are designed to allow bees to move out of the super and into the brood box, but not the other way around. These escapes are incredibly useful when you need to harvest honey from the supers while minimizing the disturbance to the bees. The Porter Bee Escapes are highly effective in directing bees down into the brood box and keeping them from returning to the super.
• Hive Ventilation:
  The design of the crown board helps with proper ventilation of the hive, providing airflow and maintaining a healthy environment for the bees.

Benefits:

• Efficient Honey Harvesting:
  The Porter Bee Escapes help clear the supers of bees, making honey harvesting much easier. This is especially useful when you want to remove honey without causing disturbance to the colony.
• Prevents Bee Loss:
  The escape mechanism helps prevent bees from getting trapped in the supers, which can occur without the proper escape devices. This ensures that the bees remain in the brood box, minimizing the risk of a loss of bees during honey collection.
• Improved Hive Management:
  The crown board also acts as an extra barrier, reducing the risk of bees wandering into the wrong area. It allows for easier management of supers and brood boxes, helping to control the hive environment efficiently.
• Durable and Sturdy Construction:
  The crown board is built to withstand the rigors of beekeeping, ensuring that it will last for many seasons of use without deterioration.

• 1 x National Crown Board
