Bee Smart Designs QUAD Play (Clearance, Final Sale)
Bee Smart Designs QUAD Play (Clearance, Final Sale)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The bottom board in this kit is not compatible with 7/8"+ thick Langstroth supers, which are the variety which we sell in store. Instead, it is designed for 3/4" thick supers. Most Canadian manufacturers are 7/8", which means that this product is not compatible with their boxes. However, if you run 3/4" (which is more typical from US suppliers), then this equipment is fully compatible. Some examples of what this equipment is compatible or not with:
- Lewis & Sons: INCOMPATIBLE
- Dancing Bee: INCOMPATIBLE
- Mann Lake: COMPATIBLE
- Dadant & Sons: COMPATIBLE
Due to this incompatibility with some of our equipment, this item is ON SALE and FINAL SALE. This is an excellent chance for somebody with compatible hardware.

Discover the most versatile, user friendly, easy to use, modular Universal Bottom Board System with everything you need to keep healthier and happier bees.
NOTE: Compatible with 3/4" thick boxes, NOT 7/8". Check your box wall thickness before purchasing. Urban Bee's supers do not quite fit into the slots correctly. It would be possible to make 7/8" fit however if either: (1) the pins at the back are removed, or (2) the boxes to be fitted are slightly modified on the inside bottom.
