The fume board box has an upper panel and an open bottom face oppositely vertically disposed from the upper panel. The upper panel defines an air intake portal and an interior surface where the repellant liner is attached on the interior surface of the upper panel. The blower is configured to generate an air flow. The air diverter is connected to the blower through the air intake portal, wherein the air diverter is configured to redirect the air flow across the repellant liner. In this manner, the air flow can be provided with low air pressure but still more evenly capture the repellant volatized from the repellant liner to remove the bees from the honey super.
