Details of Dadant US Dummy Board

Solid follower board measuring 482 × 285 mm for reducing the usable volume of a compatible Dadant hive or nucleus colony.

It is positioned after the last occupied frame so that the colony remains gathered in the area it actually covers, rather than having to manage a larger empty space. The hardboard panel has a wooden top bar.

01 · USE

Reduces space; does not create two sealed colonies

The follower board helps compress the nest in nucleus hives, small colonies or periods of lower population. It is neither an airtight partition nor a two-queen system: its effect depends on the side and bottom clearances, bee space and the geometry of the box.

02 · MAINTENANCE

Check the edges and panel

Remove propolis without digging the scraper into the board, check that the panel has not swollen or delaminated, and store it dry. If there is excessive space around it, the bees may propolise the gap or build comb; if it rubs, do not force it into the box.

03 · BEFORE YOU BUY

✓ FITS	Dadant US (American) hives and nucs, with a 482 mm top bar.
✕ DOESN'T FIT	Dadant Blatt, whose top bar is around 470 mm, and Langstroth boxes, where a 285 mm panel will not go in.
