Benefits

  • Designed to replicate a natural hive entrance
  • Allows for 360 degree defending of the entrance

  • Foragers are able to deliver nectar directly to the super and brood boxes which can be run “cold way” whilst maintaining warmth within
  • Reduces energy expended by bees moving around the hive
  • Reduces draughts through the hive
  • Can treat for varroa without opening the hive
  • Reduces traffic through the brood box thus reducing swarming
  • Increased ventilation
  • Easy to block up to protect or move hive
