Beekeeping can be expensive! Making your own bee equipment is not hard and can save you some money! Our illustrated, step-by-step plans will make building hive equipment easy!
Bottom screens can be one of the more complex pieces of beekeeping equipment due to its many parts. A solid foundation is always needed and we have perfected our bottom screen design to be the sturdiest we’ve seen yet! Our bottom screen design will accommodate small hive beetle trap trays as well as IPM boards.
Since some equipment like beetle trap trays are only manufactured to fit 10 frame equipment, we modify our 10 frame design to accommodate 8 frame equipment. This design is also included in these plans.
This is a digital PDF download product featuring step-by-step, illustrated building plans for three bottom screen styles.
Included in these plans:
- Plans for 3 styles of bottom screens: 10 frame, 8 frame, and convertible 8/10 frame
- Recommended tools list
- Supply list
- Cut lists
- Easy to read step-by-step illustrated instructions
We hope our plans will be helpful and save you money! Happy beekeeping!
