Eco Floor for bee hive

Has anyone tried an Eco Floor for their bee hive? I'm going to try this in a few days. You put an extra empty box under the brood box and try to simulate what you'd find in a hollow tree instead of having a sterile box for your bees. Moss, decaying wood, bacteria, fungi, bugs. Phil Chandler mentions a bug found in soil that's known to eat varroa!

It makes a lot of sense.

I made the eco floor out of scrap wood laying around. I made 3 entrance holes at the top, one with a landing board. Filled it with rotting wood. It has a sold floor because many hollow trees aren't hollow all the way thru.

Thanks for sharing the video clip!

I added it... and a link to this thread... into another thread.

I think this is going to be a common item in the world of natural bee keeping some day. It takes a few pioneers to get there though. You are now one of them.

Thank You

FYI, Phil Chandler mentioned recently that he doesn't use mesh floors anymore with the eco floors. I'd love to hear/see feedback from people making these. So far I've only seen Top Bar hives with them but I know others have tried them with Langs and Warre hives.
