And that hive on the stand, is that bottom box plastic? What do you think of it?
Its called the "universal botten" the universal bottom and made from foam, frigolit, polly, compact insulation
It was designed by a Group of Swedish beekeepers.
It is a raised high bottom with a metal ventilation plate at back that can be opened for inspection, medication, and it Draws condensates moisture like the rear wall of a fridge under the Winters months.
Some don't like it beecause the bees can build burr comb, but i see it as a buffet to keep over productive Queens from swarming or if the bees build faster then I can put on new boxes they Always have some extra room, a buffet
