10-Frame Hive Mat 21mm - Hardboard

The hive mat (inner cover, crown board, or ceiling) is a crucial component of the Langstroth hive system, designed to enhance hive management and promote colony health. Without a hive mat, the lid can become sealed with propolis, making it nearly impossible to remove. This mat prevents such issues while also improving ventilation during hot weather, ensuring your bees stay comfortable and productive.

Key Features:

• Durable Construction: Built with a 21mm wooden rim and a hardboard layer, this hive mat is sturdy and long-lasting.
• Paraffin Wax Treatment: Dipped in paraffin wax for added longevity and resistance to wear and environmental factors.
• Splitter Functionality: A versatile design with a slot at one end or side allows the board to double as a splitter. Ideal for splitting strong colonies, the slot provides an entrance for the new hive while keeping it oriented away from the original colony.

This hive mat board is a reliable, multifunctional tool for beekeepers, offering both practicality and durability. It’s an investment in smoother hive management and healthier colonies.
