Heck Drew I would have sold you one but with the hefty fine for advertising on this board... From previous posts, wasn't there a lady from Calif making a run to Oregon with some SBB's. Is there something about her design that you didn't like? Also from previous posts, palletized operations have a problem with switching to SBB's. A beekeeping buddy of mine has the same problem. A screened pallet can easily be designed but they all have the flaw that the SBB is part of the pallet and not part of the hive. This can be a real problem when replacing dead outs in the four pack with colonies from elsewhere. Moving colonies without a bottom is not anyone's cup of tea and we have not found the solution yet. In my case, I have the SBB sit on a separate pallet and when moving, the whole pack including the separate pallet is strapped.

Actually so far I prefer the ssb from the gal in CA. For a few reasons. It is heaver, (longer lasting hopefully) You can also slide the drawer a.k.a. shelf etc.. above the screen so your back to a plain bottom board if you like. The material they used for the shelf is more sturdy while still being reusable ;D. Well that is one persons look at the whole thing ;D Whoever comes up with the ssb built for pallets is going to be$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ a good quality one that is If I would have found your board on the web I may have bought it. That was my only real search tool

Claude, If you have a product that is beneficial to beekeepers you may post it here. Though a nice ad on the OSBA website ($6 per year for non-members) is welcome as well. However, mentioning a product for sale here does not imply the OSBA stands behind any claims you may make. This message board and the OSBA website is simply a free service for the betterment of beekeeping in Oregon and every where else that beekeepers can access us on the web.
