8-Frame Cypress Solid Bottom Board

The solid bottom board is the floor of the hive — it carries the full weight of every box stacked above it. This 8-frame cypress board gives you a solid, closed floor with no ventilation gaps, which some beekeepers prefer for better heat retention through winter.

What You Get

• Solid floor — no mesh or ventilation gaps, holds heat in better than a screened board in cold weather
• 7/8" cypress construction, naturally rot-resistant against ground moisture
• Supports the full weight of stacked boxes without sagging
• Fits standard 8-frame Langstroth equipment

Solid vs. Screened

A solid board holds heat better, which matters more in colder or drier climates. In more humid regions, a screened bottom board is the more common pick — the airflow helps with moisture control and gives you a way to monitor mite drop. Go with solid if winter cold is your bigger concern.
