Langstroth Solid Bottom Board
Pro: A fine product, in stock for immediate shipping, and I'm glad to have it made from cedar!
Con: 1. The reversible bottom board has the same 3/4" depth on both sides. I prefer the configuration where it's 3/4" on one side and 3/8" on the other side--like the photograph shows it. What I received was different than what was pictured.
Con: 2. The entrance opening is on the same end for both top & bottom instead of opposite ends. This means returning bees who land on the pallet instead of the landing board cannot walk up the face of the bottom board--a minor thing, but I like it the other way better.
Con: 3. No entrance reducer is included. This is something I miss, especially since there is no 3/8" side. I prefer my bees to have a smaller entrance than the 3/4" gap.
Another great product. Love the cedar.
Well-constructed bottom board!
