Whumsdog 5 Pack Beehive Entrance Reducer for 10-Frame Hives – 2 Openings

Flexible entrance control for healthier hives

Enhance your beekeeping routine with the Whumsdog 5 Pack Beehive Entrance Reducer. Crafted from natural pine, this set is designed for 10-frame hives and offers adjustable doorway sizing to balance airflow, colony stability, and external exposure. By providing options for entry size, you can tailor how bees move in and out while maintaining a calmer hive environment. The smooth, burr-free construction stands up to regular use and seasonal changes, making it a practical addition for both beginners and seasoned beekeepers.

Two size openings for versatile management

Two notches give you distinct entrance sizes, enabling flexible management across different weather, forage availability, and apiary layouts. Use the larger opening to accommodate busy days when the colony is active, and switch to the smaller notch to minimize wind gusts, rain intrusion, or curious intruders. This design supports year-round adjustments and can be a valuable part of your hive routine.

• Two entry sizes provide options for bees to come and go while reducing unnecessary exposure.
• Helps moderate ventilation to suit changing outdoor conditions and colony activity.

Durable, wood-based construction you can rely on

The reducer is made from natural pine, offering a smooth surface and burr-free edges that resist wear. The sturdy, weather-tough design helps it keep its shape over time, even with regular handling and hive maintenance. This makes it a dependable option for long-term use in diverse environments.

• Natural pine with a smooth, durable finish that resists cracking or deformation.
• Wear-resistant build designed for repeated installation and removal across seasons.

Easy to install and versatile in placement

Install directly at the hive front to establish the desired entrance size, or place the reducer beneath the brood box for a bottom-up configuration. Measuring 14.75 by 0.75 by 0.75 inches, it fits standard 10-frame hives and is compatible with both solid and screened bottom panels. Quick setup means you can adjust as needed without tools or complex steps.
