Product Description

The Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom divider board allows for flexible partitioning of your Mini Plus hive and is particularly suitable for creating splits and Queen Rearing. The precisely fitting wooden divider board complements the Mini Plus Styropor universal bottom and turns a single Box into several small units as needed.

Depending on the position of the divider board, you can divide the Mini Plus hive into two or three compartments, allowing you to manage multiple nuclei or mated queens simultaneously within a single box. This way, you make optimal use of available space while keeping each unit cleanly separated.

Conclusion on the Mini Plus divider board

The Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom divider board made of wood is a practical accessory for all beekeepers who work with the Mini Plus system and want to make optimal use of their space. It significantly simplifies the handling of nuclei and queens and makes the universal bottom even more versatile.

Use the divider board to manage your Mini Plus colonies more flexibly, clearly, and efficiently.

Holtermann Practical Tip: Use the divider board for short-term mating units and mark the entrances of the individual compartments with different colors. This way, the young queens will find their way back to the correct compartment after the mating flight, and swarming is significantly reduced.
