The new ANEL LockFit Beehive Bottom Board (Detachable Plastic Ventilated Langstroth Set with Drawer and Door - Available in brown and white) was designed to offer maximum functionality, stability, and ergonomics for every beekeeper.

🔸 Key Features
Screened surface with mesh for excellent ventilation and effective humidity control.
Collection drawer that fits from both the front and the rear, offering handling flexibility.
From the rear, it can be secured for permanent placement.
From the front, when inserted, it extends the landing board for a comfortable landing for the bees.
Guides for vertical division boards, ideal for colony splitting/nucs or special hive management.
Large holes allowing the bottom board to be screwed onto a pallet, ensuring stability during transport and installation.
Perimeter frame guaranteeing a perfect fit with every type of hive body, whether wooden or plastic.
Small perimeter holes allowing for the option of permanently attaching the bottom board to the hive body.
Optional black feet that snap onto the bottom and prevent soil and stones from entering the holes of the base.
Special receptor holes for immediate integration of the Big Guy pollen trap without additional modifications.
When the bottom board is used as a detachable unit, its connection to the hive body is done using metal hive latches/fasteners.
🔸 Entrance Door (Blue or Yellow) The ANEL LockFit door offers security and ease of use:
It prevents the entry of wasps, death's-head hawkmoths, snakes, or mice, protecting the colony population.
To close the entrance, simply rotate the door to the solid side (without holes).
To remove it, press lightly to the right or left; the small pins at the back facilitate easy extraction.
🔸 Drawer & Varroa Monitoring The drawer features grid lines/guides that allow for faster Varroa counting, offering valuable information on the colony's health.
Amazing strength, fit for tough use. With five points for hive body stabilization. With bases of special non-slip material, screwed to the bottom, so that the hives do not slip during transportation by truck and the bases remain attached. Accompanied by very practical transportation-protection doors.
Can be connected with the hive body with four different ways:
1. With adjustable front and rear fasteners.
2. With wire fasteners right and left.
3. Screw-in. With special connectors so that the bottom can be screwed permanently on the hive body thus transforming into a brood chamber with non-atachable bottom board.
4. With attachment straps which can be removed after beehive placement to discourage thieves.
What are the advantages of a ventilated plastic bottom board?
• Bees can keep the hive clean very easily.
• When applying treatments for varroa the parasites fall down under the hive thus treating the hive more effectively.
• Ventilation means less humidity and less humidity means fewer chances that nozema will spread in the hive.
