For the longest of time I wondered WTH those were used for... (And didn't bother looking it up heheheh) Thank you Jason for this, and I guess also accidentally proving that patience has its rewards 🤣
I like my slatted racks and I love the ones I got for my nucs from you. Keeping the bees in the hive at night reduces the loses due to opossums and skunk visits at night too. I like to drill the hole for my OA treatments int he slatted rack to so I don't hit any frames. Thanks for sharing!
Jason, good video! I’ve never tried a slotted rack and never looked into or studied the reasons for using one but because of your video I understand the logic for using one. Thanks!
Great video Jason on slatted racks. I have them under all my colonies but I use solid bottom boards. I have never tried a colony without one so I can't say how well they work. I definitely get some fun drone comb built under there and once a queen cell I found emerged after they swarmed.
James. Good to hear beeks that run solids find value also. The buffer space is one of the key benefits. It is a bit disruptive to the “bee space” and can see where the bees would build comb/cells in a solid bottom scenario. Again I think they are a great addition to a hive setup.
Great video I've seen these for sale but didn't understand completely what the point was. I like the way you explane things. I'm not that far from you. I'm on the eastern shore as well. Once we get into the season I'd like to come check out your setup. I'm in my 2nd year of beekeeping so im trying to soak up knowledge like a sponge. Free labor for a day?
I think I understand what you are suggesting but why dummy frames. That seems like a lot of wasted space and a deep with 10 frames costs $60-$75 whereas a slatted rack cost $30 on average.
Hi Jason, Great video!!! Very good explanation of the slatted rack. I use them all the time!!! In your video, it looks like you have some sort of white entrance reducers, one on the left side and one on the right side of the entrance. I have looked on your web site, but could not find them. Can you tell me what they are and how they work and where can they be purchased? Thank you !!!
ITS A CHANNEL ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH !!! HELP US CELEBRATE AND SHOW US SOME LOVE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW #MORETHANAHOBBEE 🎂🧁🎈
Clear useful explanation of slatted rack. Thank you. ("Met" you in Bruce/brucebees' video of Hive Alive).
Thank you. Bruce is a good friend.

Agreed another great point I forgot to mention. Thanks again for the patronage.

Thanks Don for watching and commenting. You should try one out one of these days.
Great Job Jason! Congrats on the 1 Year Channel anniversary! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Grayson
Thanks Jason for explaining slatted racks, now I'm thinking, oh great ,more equipment to buy!,congrats on anniversary!
Thanks and yes you never seem to have enough bee equipment. Lol.
One more benefit! Can drill the vaporizer hole in the back of rack and less chance to get the hot pipe against low hanging comb (😬🔥)
Yes sir. Makes a perfect Vap shim

Sounds like maybe a 16 foot trailer would work for hauling totes and boxes and supplies that way you don’t tie up your truck
I have a 8 trailers a variety of sizes and uses

Thanks Mike. Definitely need to stop by for a visit.
How about a deep box with 10 1" wide dummy frames, is bigger/deeper better?
I think I understand what you are suggesting but why dummy frames. That seems like a lot of wasted space and a deep with 10 frames costs $60-$75 whereas a slatted rack cost $30 on average.
And a slatted rack the Dimensions of a deep would be heavy
Yes 👍🏻

I have a question. Is Outro a word?
ou·tro /ˈoutrō/
noun INFORMAL
the concluding section of a piece of music, media, or a radio or television program.
00:13:53? I found what you were referring to in the description. 😅 only watch it 19 times trying to find it. Oop!
