Bee Smart Ultimate Robbing Screen
The Bee Smart Designs Ultimate Robbing Screen guards a hive entrance during dearth and robbing season. It reroutes the colony's own bees through a side opening they learn quickly, while robber bees stay stuck at the front — and it doubles as a mouse guard and ventilation aid.
Features
- Stops robbing by redirecting the entrance.
- Resident bees learn the new path; robbers don't.
- Also works as a mouse guard and for added ventilation.
How it works
Mount the screen over the entrance at the first sign of robbing. Your bees reorient to the offset opening within a day, while robbers keep bumping the screen at the old entrance and give up.
Pairs well with
- Beehive Entrance Disc — another season-by-season entrance control.
