Disclaimer: These are under trial at the moment. We make no guarantee that they stop any pests.

The idea is to create a smaller entry that is more easily guarded by the bees to try reduce or stop the entry of Phorid Fly.

These are being offered to beekeepers that like to try out different concepts but can’t be supplied free because it takes time and materials to make. All sales help fund research at nativebeehives.com. Any observations or feedback is much appreciated after using it for a while.

If out of stock these can be ordered, email steve@hivecraft.com.au

Installation:

  • The entrance block will plug in to your standard 13mm entrance hole
  • Plug in the new entrance at night and let the bees discover it when they exit the hive the next day
  • You should monitor the bees after installation to make sure it’s all working for them
  • When ever you change something with the hive entrance the bees may get confused until they get use to it. Give them time to work it out.
