That last function is why screened bottom boards became standard practice in beekeeping over the past few decades. Varroa mites fall off bees during grooming.

If you've opened a box and found the frames compressed to one side or unequally spaced, you know the problem. Metal frame spacers fix it at the box level — two spacers install into the top ledge of the box (one per side), and every frame hangs from the spacer rather than sitting freely against wood. Each frame slot is fixed. You pull frames from known positions, replace them in known positions, and the colony never has to re-establish consistent spacing after an inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FBC spacers are designed without gaps between frame slots, which means small hive beetles can't use the spacer itself as a hiding spot — a common flaw in other designs where the beetle can tuck into the space between the frame lug and the spacer housing. Height is also adjustable: slide the spacer up or down in the ledge groove during installation to control how much of the spacer sits above the frame rest. A small adjustment at setup gives you the fit you want for your specific frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost beekeepers run 10-frame spacing in brood boxes and switch to 9-frame spacing in honey supers. Wider spacing in supers allows bees to draw thicker comb — which is easier to uncap and holds more honey per frame.

That's the design basis for this reducer. Most commercial entrance reducers cut the entrance down to whatever width fits the woodenware, without much consideration for what the colony can actually guard effectively. We built this one around what the research shows works for the bees, and we sized it to match the natural entrance wild colonies prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reducer is reversible with two distinct sides. The oblong hole side is for standard use — bees move freely in and out, but the opening is narrow enough that the colony can defend against robbing bees, wasps, and hornets without posting a full guard at the front. The small hole side is for moving hives — air passes through, bees don't.

The nylon bristles on this one are soft enough to flex when they contact a bee — you're sweeping them off, not pushing them. Two rows of yellow bristles span the full width of a Langstroth frame, so you can clear a frame in one or two passes rather than working it edge to edge. The wooden handle is 16 inches, which gives you reach without crowding the colony, and it's wide enough that you can hold it with a gloved hand without feeling like you're pinching it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost beekeepers keep a brush in their kit for three situations: inspections when you need a frame completely clear before you put it down, installing packages or nucs when you need to move clusters of bees into a box, and harvesting honey when you want to clear frames without using chemicals. Brushing is slower than a bee blower and more hands-on than a bee escape board, but it gives you direct control and works in any situation without extra equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth knowing: brushing does agitate bees somewhat. Bees respond to the motion and the disruption of vibration. Keep your smoker handy and work at a steady pace rather than rushing. Most beekeepers find that brushing becomes second nature quickly, and the bees settle down within a few minutes after you close the hive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo rows of soft yellow nylon bristles — flexible enough to sweep bees without injury.

Then the refill frequency becomes genuinely annoying. This kit addresses that directly. The ½ gallon jar holds 8.75 cups of syrup, which is roughly twice the capacity of the quart jar most entrance feeders ship with. You fill less often, and the bees have access to more syrup between visits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe redesigned the feeder base at the same time. The step feeder inserts into the hive entrance and lets bees walk down to drink from the perforated lid — the same basic Boardman mechanism, but updated so the jar fits properly and the vacuum seal holds without adjusting the jar position. Syrup stays in the jar until bees draw it down; it doesn't leak through the holes unless the seal is broken. The jar also works as an internal hive feeder when you drop it inside an empty brood box with the lid facing down — useful for situations where you want to feed without advertising the syrup at the entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar is made with a UV-inhibitor additive in the plastic. Direct sun exposure is the main reason plastic feeders go brittle and crack, and it also creates conditions where mold grows faster inside the jar. The UV additive extends the service life of the jar significantly. The walls are also thicker than standard feeder jars, which means less flex and longer durability over multiple seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.75 cup \/ ½ gallon capacity — more than double standard entrance feeder jars.

Screw on the perforated lid, invert the jar over the feeder base, and slide the base into the hive entrance. Vacuum pressure holds the syrup in place.

That's actually what makes the Beetle Blaster work — you're placing a dark, oil-filled trap exactly where beetles want to be, and then letting the bees do what they naturally do. Bees chase beetles toward the edges and corners of the hive. Beetles enter the trap looking for refuge. They can't get out. Spring through early summer is when beetle pressure is highest, and that's when these traps earn their keep — before beetle populations have a chance to establish and overwhelm a colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beetle Blaster is a disposable trap. You fill it with vegetable oil (apple cider vinegar works too, and can improve attractiveness), slide it between frames, and replace it when it's full or at the end of the season. It can't be cleaned and reused — that's the main trade-off compared to reusable options like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/foxhound-reusable-small-hive-beetle-trap\"\u003eFoxhound Reusable Beetle Trap\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/small-hive-beetle-baitable-trap\"\u003eBeetle Jail\u003c\/a\u003e.

Slide it between frames in the upper brood box or honey super, flush with the top bars. The trap fits between standard Langstroth frames. Place one in each top corner of the box for best coverage. Check and replace as needed — a full trap means it's working.

Each frame includes 1 top bar, 1 bottom bar, 2 sidebars, and a wooden starter strip. When assembled, the bees build their comb inside the frame using the starter strip as a guide. The full-length starter strip is essential in guiding the bees to build a straight sheet of comb inside the frame and reducing any crooked comb.\\n\\nWe changed our design to include a solid bottom bar which is an enormous help to beekeepers who keep bees in small hive beetle-prone areas. The solid bottom bar reduces the number of spaces available for beetles to hide. A simple but significant improvement over using other types of frames.\\n\\nAllowing bees to build their own comb is popular with beekeepers who want to harvest honey while still in its comb, often called comb honey or chunk honey. Without any foundation, the comb can be easily cut through and ensures your comb and honey are completely pure.\\n\\nOne of the most popular reasons for using foundationless frames is to allow the bees to build their comb more naturally. The naturally built comb is often built in a variety of cell sizes according to the bee's particular needs when building the comb. The size of the cells can range from 4.7mm and up to 5.6mm.\\n\\nThese frames are sold unassembled or assembled, but if bought unassembled, they can be put together using typical hand tools everyone has. A hammer, nails, and a good quality wood-glue are all that is needed to assemble the frames securely.
