Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom extension "Closed"

Product Description

The Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom extension "Closed" is a precisely fitting extension element for the Mini Plus universal bottom made of Styropor. It reliably seals the sides of the bottom board without an Entrance and supports the calm, controlled management of nuclei and reserve colonies in the Mini Plus system.

The function is simple: The closed extension is attached to the front or back of the Mini Plus universal bottom and ensures that no Entrance is created on that side. This allows flight openings to be used specifically only where they are intended in the hive’s design.

Special features

  • Completely closed front without an Entrance for the Mini Plus Styrofoam universal bottom
  • Modular plug-in system compatible with the various universal bottom attachments
  • Lightweight Hartpor polystyrene for easy handling and good insulation
  • Precise Mini Plus dimensions for a secure, wobble-free fit

Advantages

  • More control over entrance holes on the Mini Plus universal bottom
  • Reduced risk of predators, as unintended openings remain securely closed
  • Flexible floor design thanks to quick switching between closed and open extensions
  • Lightweight at just 0.06 kg for comfortable work at the hive
  • Ideal for raising splits and keeping spare queens in the Mini Plus system

Conclusion on the Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom attachment "Closed"

The Mini Plus Styropor® universal bottom attachment "Closed" is the right choice if you want to use the bottom sides of your Mini Plus System without an Entrance. You’ll keep the Entrance tidier, better protect your nuclei from robbing, and maintain the full flexibility of the modular universal bottom at the same time.

Now complement your Mini Plus universal bottom effectively and optimize your bottom board setup.

Holtermann Practical Tip: Use the closed extension, for example, for reserve colonies or units that you store in the same stack but do not want to let fly out from the same location. Always plan your flight hole orientation in advance so you can sensibly combine closed and open universal bottom extensions.
