2.5" Spacer Board (Shim)

This 2.5-inch wooden spacer, or "shim," provides essential extra headspace between the top of the frames and the inner cover. It is a versatile tool for any apiary, allowing for easy placement of supplemental feed or treatments without crowding the bees or interfering with the hive’s structural alignment.

• Pro-Tip for Northern Ontario: This spacer is particularly useful for winter and early spring management in our region. In Northern Ontario, it provides the necessary clearance to place fondant patties or pollen supplements directly over the winter cluster, ensuring your bees have easy access to emergency food during a long, cold spring.
