The Bbm/F chord is a Bb minor chord, with the F (the 5th) as the bass note.
The Bb minor chord itself has a dark, melancholy sound. Playing the 5th of the chord (in the case of Bbm, the 5th is F) as the bass note, can make the chord sound even more dark and dramatic, even if it is only a subtle difference.
The chord is also referred to as B flat minor over F, or Bbm ‘slash’ F, or simply, B flat minor with an F in the bass.
Technically, the B flat minor chord with the F in the bass is a second inversion B flat minor chord.
