Hive Winter Quilt Box

$40.00

Winter Quilt Board:

Consists of:

  • 3″ high.  Canadian Pine, 7/8″ thick.  (same as the boxes we sell)
  • Screened bottom –  1/8″ screen hardware cloth (Same as the screened bottom boards)
  • 3 Screened Ventilated holes on the sides

RECOMMENDED:  We recommend that you add the 2 burlap sand bags and put pine shavings in them.  This acts as an absorbent material for moisture and also as insulation.
Our insulation pillows can also be used on top of the burlap as extra insulation to keep the cold out.

Recommended:  Use a 7/8″ rim below the Quilt board and above your inner cover to put fondant, pollen patties, sugar cakes etc.

*For orders larger than 5,  please email us at :[email protected] to check our inventory supply

Items to keep your bees warm and dry:

 QUILT BOARD:

 Small Bag of Pine Shavings:
 Insulation Pillow:
 3/4” Spacer rim:
 Hive Wraps

Order of the Winterizing Components:

  1. Inner Cover above your bees
  2. Next add a   3/4” Spacer Rim (allows room for fondant, pollen patties, sugar patties, etc. to sit on the inner cover without getting squished)
  3.   Then add the Quilt Box (screen side down)

FILLING YOUR QUILT BOX:

a. OPTION 1: Partially fill 2 small burlap sacks with shavings. * don’t block
ventilation holes. Do NOT use sawdust.
~ use pink insulation board inside your hive cover (from Home Depot)

b. OPTIONS 2: Lay any empty burlap sacks on top of screen and then add
insulation pillow. Don’t block ventilation holes (burlap sacks will need to be
swapped out for dry ones periodically)

4.  The Hive Cover goes directly on the top of the Quilt Board
