Bottom board ?

>Do you use a screened bottom board with a regular bottom board?
Some companies sell an insert to go on a regular bottom board. But a SBB is usually a stand alone thing. You use it instead.
>What is bearding
When the weather is hot the bees sometimes cluster on the outside of the hive. It looks like a beard.

I use a screened bottom with a solid board about 3 inches below it. A tray sits on this, and can be pulled out any time to check what's falling out. This way I can get a surprising amount of information about what's going on inside the hive without having to disturb the bees.
