The Double Screen Board for Beekeeping is a versatile and indispensable tool for managing hives, particularly during swarm prevention, colony splitting, queen rearing, and overwintering. Designed with functionality and ease of use in mind, this board helps beekeepers optimize hive management while maintaining colony health and productivity.

Crafted from high-quality, durable materials, the double screen board features two fine mesh screens that create a secure separation between hive boxes. This separation allows heat and pheromones to pass through while preventing direct contact between bees in the upper and lower chambers. This makes it ideal for a range of applications, including creating temporary two-queen colonies or supporting weaker colonies by utilizing heat from a stronger one below.

For swarm control, the double screen board enables you to simulate a natural swarm environment by splitting the hive without fully removing bees. This method reduces the risk of losing a swarm while encouraging the bees to redirect their energy into brood rearing or honey production. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for raising a new queen, as it allows the upper chamber to develop its own queen while maintaining the benefits of the larger colony.

The board is also highly effective during overwintering, helping weaker colonies stay warm by sharing heat with stronger ones. The ventilation provided by the screen prevents condensation, ensuring a healthier environment for the bees.

Easy to install and use, the Double Screen Board is compatible with standard Langstroth hives and can be seamlessly integrated into your beekeeping setup. Its durable construction ensures long-lasting performance, making it a valuable investment for beekeepers of all levels.

Simplify hive management and enhance colony health with the Double Screen Board—a practical, multi-functional tool that every beekeeper should have in their arsenal.
