The HIVEIQ base is molded with high density EPS for high strength and reduced weight for ease of moving when necessary. The ventilated hive floor is a perforated powder coated aluminum for optimal hive ventilation, improved hive hygiene, and pest protection. The three-stage hive entrance enables the entrance to be opened and closed in one-third increments depending on the colony's strength and conditions. Hive entrance locks on each end locks the entrance in the closed or open position. Grooves on the underside of the base allow a for thin corrugated cardboard or melamine board (not included) to be inserted into the bottom to reduce ventilation if needed. RFID/NFC Tag is standard with every hive--the tag allows you to quickly scan and view the dashboard of each hive in the HIVEIQ software.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of other HIVEIQ innovations such as: the HIVEIQ Pollen Collection System (sold separately) and the HIVEIQ Mouse Guard (sold separately) .
