Also called Snellgrove boards, these double screened boards are used to create splits, swarm control, recombining a swarm with the parent hive to create great comb honey, then once the new queen is established, pinch the old queen and recombine for a great honey producing colony or preparing for winter, place a weak hive or nuc above a strong hive to share heat for overwintering. The double screen keeps bees from being able to sting each other while multiple entrance options allows for a top and bottom entrance into different hives. Made by a local Amish family using Ohio pine and assembled using stainless steel screws. Fits an 8 frame standard langstroth hive.
