ProtectaBEE® Vented Cone Insert (2-pack)
ProtectaBEE® Vented Cone Insert is a brand-new addition to the 10-Frame ProtectaBEE
A stylish new hive entrance to cool off your busy bees, while protecting them from unwanted predators.
Includes:
Two vented-cone inserts for one hive (allows bees in and out of the hive).
Great for:
Protection From Robbers:
-
The cones make it difficult for wasps/hornets/yellow jackets, and even bees from other hives to get in and out. 🐝
-
With 8 "doors" that can be easily protected, the bees can move in and out quickly while guarding more easily inside. 👮♀️
-
Moving the entrance away from the food source makes it less "smelly" for robbers. 🍯
-
The color red ❌ cannot easily be seen by most insects and makes it difficult for even other bees that have not oriented themselves to the cones. (Don't worry, though; your girls will orient themselves in just a few hours...best put on early morning or once everyone else is home to make it easiest for them to learn how their new cone house works!)
Protected Cooling 🌬:
With an extra large landing board protected from predators above, even more bees can fan at the entrance! No worries about diving wasps, birds, or dragonflies while keeping the hive cool.
Bee Vectoring:
Bee vectoring allows you to add probiotic powder to the "in" side of the hive entrance and have the bees deliver products inside the hive without disturbing them.
Currently, we use Super-DFM Honeybee probiotics (sold here).
Other powdered products for bee vectoring will be available soon!
Keep in mind you will still need the ORIGINAL ProtectaBEE®, SOLD SEPARATELY HERE.
