8-Frame Wooden Entrance Reducer

$2.49

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 8-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.
