British National Crown Board
Designed for use with British National hives, this crown board sits directly on top of the uppermost super or brood chamber, just beneath the roof, providing a reliable barrier for hive management and insulation.
Available with or without Porter bee escapes, allowing you to choose the setup that suits your beekeeping needs.
When fitted with Porter bee escapes, the crown board allows bees to move down from the supers into the brood box while preventing them from returning, helping to clear supers efficiently before honey harvesting.
The standard option without escapes is ideal for routine hive management and inspections.
Fully compatible with British National hive components, including brood boxes, supers, and roofs.
Choose your option:
- Crown board without Porter bee escapes – for general hive management
- Crown board with Porter bee escapes fitted – ideal for clearing supers before harvesting
Key features:
- Suitable for British National bee hives
- Fits beneath the roof above the top box
- Optional Porter bee escapes for easy super clearing
- Helps streamline honey removal
- Compatible with standard hive components

Let customers speak for us
from 188 reviewsGreat value in comparison with other sellers.
Well made leather section of the glove, soft and comfortable. The 3 layer forearm protection has a tighter fit at the opening so no bees can work their way under. Happy so far.
Great value jacket. Seems to be very robustly made and well put together. Quality feel to the garment.
Good quality and perfect fit. Thanks
Good quality stitching
Outstanding quality overall. The order arrived fast, and the embroidered logo features clean, durable stitching at the perfect size.
Fast free delivery highly recommended🐝
Excellent suit. Great air flow.
5 year beekeeper, starting to understand this beekeeping malarkey. I worked out that I don't need a full suit every time I go to the apairy as some of the jobs are 2-3 minutes at each hive. Decided to get a jacket as quicker to put on and off and not as hot. This works. Full protection, good zips and tight waistband. For the price it's amazing. It will get some use.
Excellent jacket, the third one I’ve bought of this design. Having worn both styles of veil, for ladies I think the fencing one sits better and doesn’t flop around as the other sort.
Great company and prompt delivery at a good price. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic quality from AGS.
I personally have used their gear for around 7 years and haven't ever received 1 sting whilst in them.
Over the last couple of years the whole family has switched over.
The triple layer is breathable, hard-wearing and super protection. The suit is substantial but also light enough to work in all day comfortably.
Plenty of pockets all where needed.
I highly recommend this suit and AGS on the whole.
Exceptionally good suit and value for money
Great suit, does exactly what it says on the tin
Great quality and value for money!
I like the jacket and much prefer the round hat to the fencing veil. I think I ordered a size bigger than I needed as I have long arms, but it's fine. Definitely cooler than a cotton suit!
