Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom extension "Varioboden"

Product Description

The Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom board extension "Varioboden" expands your Mini Plus universal bottom board with a convenient flight-in area modeled after the Segeberger Varioboden. The attachment, made of hard-por Styrofoam, simply clips onto the universal bottom and complements your modular Mini Plus system for nucleus colonies and Queen Rearing.

The function is clear: The Varioboden flight path gently guides the bees to the Entrance, provides a defined Entrance height of approx. 6 mm, and ensures that the external dimensions of your Mini Plus hive are maintained. This allows you to combine good access with optimal use of space in the apiary.

Special features

  • Inward-facing entrance area, similar to the Segeberger Vario bottom board
  • Modular plug-in system compatible with the Mini Plus universal bottom board
  • Entrance opening approx. 6 mm for Mini Plus nucleus hives and mating units
  • Compact design; external hive dimensions remain unchanged

Advantages

  • Improved access for young bees and weaker colonies
  • Better visibility at the Entrance, ideal for queen inspection
  • Lightweight thanks to Hartpor polystyrene, easy to handle
  • Quick conversion through simple attachment and detachment without General Tools
  • Compatible system with other Mini Plus universal bottom board attachments

Conclusion on the Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom board Vario Bottom

The Vario Floor entry area for Mini Plus is the perfect addition for anyone who wants to keep their nucleus colonies or mating units organized and is looking for the proven Segeberger entry comfort in the Mini Plus format. Add this practical entry module to your Mini Plus universal bottom and make the entry of your bees significantly more comfortable.

Holtermann Practical Tip: Use the Vario Floor entry area especially for newly formed Mini Plus nuclei or mating units. A clear, easily visible entry area helps returning young bees find their way back in faster and reduces stress at the hive entrance.

FAQ on the Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom extension Vario Floor

The Vario Floor Extension is ideal for Mini Plus nucleus hives, mating units, and small reserve colonies where a quiet and easily visible landing area is desired.

It is specifically designed for the Mini Plus universal bottom, to which the extension can be easily attached at the front or back. Compatibility with other bottoms is not guaranteed.

No, the Vario Bottom entrance area is shaped so that the hive’s external dimensions remain unchanged. This simplifies space planning at the apiary and on pallets.

The entrance hole height of approximately 6 mm is well-suited for Mini Plus nucleus hives. It provides an easily passable entrance while helping to limit disturbances from larger animals.

Occasionally brushing off propolis and wax residue is usually sufficient. If necessary, you can carefully clean the Styrofoam with lukewarm water and let it dry thoroughly.
