Give your new colony the best start with this Langstroth nuc crown board – made from knot-free New Zealand Pine and perfect for feeding after swarm collection or splits.
This board is drilled with a central hole, which is compatible with our Porta Bee Escapes, giving you added flexibility for clearing bees or venting. It also works brilliantly with the BEEtastic Langstroth Nuc Eke – ideal when you want to feed your bees without disturbing the colony.
Multi-use and practical, crown boards aren't just for feeding. They're also used to cover the top of the hive, helping retain warmth in cooler months, reduce condensation, and offer extra security between inspections.
Made from premium, knot-free New Zealand Pine, it’s durable, clean to work with and arrives fully assembled and good to go. Whether you're a seasoned beekeeper or managing your first swarm, this crown board is a reliable, high-quality tool that makes all the difference.
Why use with a nuc eke? Because placing a feeder above the crown board, inside an eke, means you can feed without disturbing the colony. Less stress for you, and less disruption for the bees.
Top tip: Pair with our rapid feeder and nuc eke for a seamless setup after a swarm or split.
Like any hive equipment, we recommend treating with preserve or paint to maximise the working life. Once treated, New Zealand Pine beats many of the characteristics of British Red Cedar (which is typically fast-grown and felled young making it softer and less durable).
