Quick Guide – Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom board extension "Two Entrances"

1. Preparation

  • Check that the Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom is clean and dry.

2. Mounting on the Universal Bottom Board

  • Insert the "two entrance holes" universal bottom attachment into the designated slots on the front or back of the universal bottom.

3. Assembling the units

  • Place the Mini Plus box on the installed universal bottom.
  • Depending on your intended use, insert one divider board for two units or two divider boards for three units with an additional attachment.
  • Align the entrances according to the layout.

4. Stocking the colonies or queens

5. Operation and monitoring

  • Mark the entrances differently, for example with paint or symbols, to reduce swarming.
