BeeCastle 4-Pack Beehive Entrance Reducer & Mouse Guard for 8/10 Frame Hives

Meet BeeCastle 4PCS Beehive Entrance Reducer and Mouse Guard, a rust-proof stainless steel set designed to fit both 8 and 10 frame hives. Built to withstand the elements, this kit provides a reliable way to regulate entry points while keeping non bee visitors at bay.

One side of the guard features round holes that allow bees to move in and out, while helping deter mice and robbers from accessing the hive.
