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 control who enters the hive more effectively.
They can also be helpful in cold climates for reducing drafts and snow from entering the hive throughout the cooler months.
We recently added the Flow All Weather Upgrade Kit to our setup, and The Bay Bees are absolutely loving it! This kit has made a noticeable difference in how our hive handles the elements, especially during colder, windier weather. The Weather Guard is a game-changer—it's helped shield the hive entrance from rain and sudden chills, keeping the bees much more active and content. We’ve noticed less clustering and more confident foraging even on grey days. The Entrance Reducer is another brilliant inclusion. It’s been great for deterring pests and robbers, and also perfect when we’ve needed to reduce airflow during chilly nights. It’s especially useful during hive relocations or times of heightened predator activity. Overall, this upgrade kit is simple to install, thoughtfully designed, and truly helps keep our bees happy and cosy year-round. Highly recommend for any Flow Hive beekeeper looking to add a bit more comfort and security for their colony!
