National Open Mesh Floor with Entrance Block - Flat Pack
National Open Mesh Floor with Entrance Block
Made from sustainably sourced British Cedar wood with a galvanised expanded mesh screen. Manufactured by Thorne in the UK and is one of the most sustainable and eco friendly beehive parts available on the UK market. As this is made from British grown cedar, there will be small knots, splits and imperfections on the wood.
Assembly required - supplied flat pack with nails and instructions
Advantages of open mesh floor include:
- Improved wintering - water vapour.
- Easy monitoring of mite populations - simply slide in the plastic drawer under the screen when required.
- Escapes easily through the floor - no need for top ventilation which wastes the colony's heat.
- No need for extra screens when moving bees.
- Reduction of varroa populations - mites which fall through the screen do not climb back up.
Price includes VAT
High quality cedar open mesh beehive floor. Thank you for providing excellent service and kit.
Generally well made and went together very easily, I decided to use glue on the joints and use my own larger nails.
I also used a staple gun to fix the mesh instead of the drawing pins
I like the simplicity of the floor as it does the job. I would, however, take issue with the fastenings.
1) I did not use the nails to fasten the main frame together but drilled and screwed the parts together instead.
2) I certainly did not use the drawing pins to fasten the mesh in place but rather used a more substantial felt nail.(drawing pins !!!)
3) I defy anyone to put the pins in the metal rail without the use of a fine jawed pair of grips.to hold the pin.
