Beehive Mouse Guard / Entrance Reducer
A galvanized metal mouse guard and entrance reducer in one — a perforated strip that pins across the hive entrance. The holes let bees pass freely while blocking mice and shrews from moving in over fall and winter.
Features
- Doubles as a mouse guard and an entrance reducer.
- Bee-sized holes keep rodents out without trapping bees.
- Galvanized steel — reusable season after season.
How it works
Pin the guard across the hive entrance in late fall once the colony has clustered. Bees come and go through the holes; mice looking for a warm winter nest are shut out. Open it up or remove it in spring as traffic picks up.
Pairs well with
- Beehive Entrance Disc — another way to control the entrance through the seasons.
