How to use your Entrance Reducer
Entrance Reducers are designed to narrow the entry point of the hive. This can be useful for protecting your hive against predators or robbing colonies, as this allows the guard bees to more effectively control who enters the hive.

Note: If moving your hive, use the extra holes provided to screw the entrance reducer firmly in place to avoid the risk of movement. It is important to only seal your hive for short periods of time to avoid overheating and stress to your colony.
I bought the Flow Hive entrance reducer and have been overall pleased with it. It was easy to install and worked great for what I needed at the time. I did have to switch it out do to the high possibility of mice trying to get in the hive as the weather gets colder where I am. I would be nice if Flow Hive made this entrance reduced able to also be a mouse guard when needed.
Great quality and easy.to use. I ordered these entrance reducers for use when I moved my hives to our new home.
The entrance reducer was super easy to attach and will definitely help when it comes time to adding the bees to my brood box.
