Product Details
Description
First developed in 1900, the slatted rack is essential for overwintering and swarm control in the North. Allows the queen to lay lower in the comb and provides space for clustering which can reduce swarming. Install between the bottom board and brood chamber. Slats line up with frames, so it can be used along with our Varroa Trap. Ships assembled. Compatible with 10 Frame equipment only.
How to Use a Slatted Rack
To use a slatted rack in your hive, place it directly above the hive stand and below the bottom board. Ensure the slats are aligned parallel to the entrance of the hive to promote proper airflow and allow easy movement for your bees. This placement helps reduce brood nest congestion, encourages the queen to lay brood closer to the bottom of the frames, and minimizes bearding during hot weather, improving overall hive efficiency and colony health.
