5-Frame Cypress Solid Bottom Board

The solid bottom board is the floor of a nuc box — it carries the full weight of everything stacked above it. This 5-frame cypress board gives you a solid, closed floor, which some beekeepers prefer for heat retention on a mating nuc or a small colony through cold weather.

What You Get

• Solid floor — no mesh or ventilation gaps, holds heat in better than a screened board
• 7/8" cypress construction, naturally rot-resistant against ground moisture
• Supports the full weight of a stacked nuc without sagging
• Fits standard 5-frame nuc equipment

Solid vs. Screened

A solid board holds heat better, which matters more in colder or drier climates, or for a small cluster that struggles to hold its own warmth. In more humid regions, a screened bottom board is the more common pick for airflow and mite monitoring.
