Hive Entrance Reducers

For effective bee care, every beekeeper needs the right equipment and specialist tools. Having the proper kit can make all the difference to successful beekeeping. 

One useful item in a beekeeper’s inventory is a hive entrance reducer. They are available in different shapes, sizes and formats.

Features of using a hive entrance reducer

A hive entrance reducer is designed for:

• adjusting the hive entrance opening;
• protecting the hive from mice entering;
• ventilating a closed hive.

Depending on its purpose, a hive entrance reducer can be set to the following positions: fully closed, fully open, or restricted access.

Each beekeeper decides how best to use hive entrance reducers. As a rule, in summer and during a good nectar flow they are opened fully; in autumn they are partly closed to help prevent mice from entering the hive; and full closure is used for overwintering bees.
