Product Overview
10 Frame Bee Hive Painted White Entrance Reducer
Lappe's Bee Supply offers a two-sided painted entrance reducer for 10-frame bee hives. This versatile tool features two different openings: a larger opening and a smaller one. The larger opening is perfect for times when your bee colony is strong and active, allowing more bees to come and go freely, which is essential during busy foraging days. The smaller opening is ideal for cooler months or when the colony is weaker, as it helps to minimize exposure to the elements and protects the hive from predators, making it easier for the bees to defend their home. The bright white paint not only looks attractive but also helps reflect sunlight, keeping the hive cooler in hot weather. By using this entrance reducer, beekeepers can better manage the activity at the hive entrance, contributing to a healthier and more secure environment for their bees.
