Guardian Bee Hive Upper Entrance

The Guardian Bee Hive Upper Entrance is a patented entrance system that fits over round hive entrance holes to help deter small hive beetles. It masks the round opening with barrier edges that are hard for beetles to cross and adds red light technology, while bees move through normally.
