It supports every other component, so it is important that it’s strong and durable. Our solid bottom board is made of high-quality pine wood. The wooden entrance feeder is perfect for feeding your bees during the spring to build them up quickly. This is also a great feeder for summer or early fall, during a shortage of nectar. The brood chamber is where your queen will lay most of her young. All of our brood chambers are made from select-grade yellow pine, meaning they have no knots or defects. The inner cover is insulated and keeps the bees from ‘gluing’ down the telescoping lid with propolis. Our inner cover is made from yellow pine and plywood. The telescoping lid sits on top of your hive. Its heavy-duty construction protects your hive from the elements. We use Acorn plastic foundation on our woodenware. It’s heavily waxed for better, smoother acceptance by your bees. Weight 15 lbs Dimensions 20 × 20 × 12 in
