The Ultimate Multi-Functional Hive Crown Board: This Versatile Board has many uses.
Let's look at one of the most important parts, we have to consider the health of our precious bees, this piece of equipment stays with your beehive and bees throughout the season.
No adding pieces of wood called shims or adding a super for this, means no transfer of possible diseases from one hive to another, along with most feeding applications, this is a must for every hive.
Let's look at the feeding advantages, a standard large feeder fits inside, just add the roof. In late summer/early autumn, your bees will collect Ivy honey by the ton, it is not unusual for them to fill 6 to 8 frames in the brood areas, take some of these out and give the bees a drawn foundation for the queen to layup for over winter bees. If you do not have any drawn foundation, add one frame of foundation to the edge of the brood area on one side. Keep the frame you take out somewhere safe. In early spring when your bees need extra feed for brood rearing, scratch the surface of the store Ivy honey, spray with water, then add your frame and lay it flat on the crown board, they will love it.
