A hive entrance sized for summer is too wide for a small or new colony to defend the rest of the year. This wooden entrance reducer slides into the hive's front opening and narrows it down, so a smaller workforce of guard bees can actually cover the doorway against robbing bees, wasps, and mice.
What You Get
- Narrows the entrance to a size a small colony can defend, cutting down on robbing and pest intrusion
- Simple slide-in design — no tools or hardware needed
- Wood construction, fits flush with the bottom board
- Fits standard 10-frame Langstroth equipment
Seasonal Use
Use it on new packages, nucs, and splits when colony numbers are low, and again in fall and winter when a full-size entrance lets in more cold air and more mice than a small cluster can fend off. Pull it in late spring once the colony is strong enough to guard a full-width entrance on its own.
