Protects from wasps, hornets, and other hive pests
Prevents robbing
Delivers treatments through apivectoring
Protection + Treatment Delivery System
Red cones are difficult for predators to see, while smaller openings allow for guard bees to more easily protect the hive from robbers.
Treatments can be added to the "IN" drawer to fight pests and diseases inside the hive, such as Varroa mites and American foulbrood using innovative bee vectoring technology.
Entrance Reducers + Feeding Station
Two size entrance reducers can keep your hive warm in cooler weather. Use both entrance reducers on each side, or add a solid insert on one side.
Solid inserts provide an accessible drawer for adding supplements, pollen substitutes or fondant without disturbing the hive.
Reduce Outbound Traffic
Turn the cone inserts on both sides to "IN" to reduce outgoing traffic and guard bee activity while mowing or trimming around your hives.
Solid Inserts
Solid inserts can be added for moving hives short distances or to temporarily close for protection from pesticide spraying nearby.
No Inserts - Protected Landing Board
Remove inserts during heavy nectar flow or when robbing is not an issue to provide an extra large landing board protected fom rain, wind and overhead predators.
The ProtectaBEE™ allows bees to carry powders INTO the hive to improve health and simplify beekeeping. Our patent-pending design ensures that the bees transfer the powders throughout the hive at the right concentration while minimizing loss to the external environment.

Beyond providing the right medication at the right time, the wisdom that comes along with that service is really going to help the beekeeping industry, certainly starting with the hobby beekeepers.

The ProtectaBEE™ will be a huge time saver. We could go through 24 hives in 20 minutes as opposed to a few hours when needing to manually open the hives.

I think getting Varroa under control is the most exciting thing about the ProtectaBEE™ and just using it in
a practical manner, the bees are just coming and going and I’m loving it.Mike Barber![]()
Small-Scale Beekeeper
We really like the idea, and we can’t wait to start using it with some treatments. Already it makes an
excellent entrance reducer, as it’s multi-purpose, we’re pretty impressed so far.Bruce and Joanne![]()
It works wonderful, it only took the bees about two hours to figure it out.

FAQs
Yes! See this video HERE!
Dead bee removal is not an issue and queens and drones are able to move easily through the cones.
We tested over two years and found less bearding on our hives with ProtectaBEE™ than without. Inside is an extra-large landing board, and the bees continue to fan inside the hive. Additionally, you can always remove the inserts, and we recommend doing that when you do not have any issues with robbers to maximize bee traffic!
Yes! Beehives commonly have plastic frames, plastic queen excluders, plastic feeders, and there are even full plastic hives! The bees don't mind!
Most hives are fully exposed to severe weather elements (sun, rain, cold). Over time wood warps and does not provide the security needed to keep out predators. We have sourced a bee-friendly plastic that will last several years outside without becoming brittle. Our inserts are also reinforced to prevent warping.

The cones are big enough to let drones and queen move in and out of the hive. This is important, especially if you have a virgin queen that needs to mate. The ProtectaBEE™ will not prevent swarming.
Since the ProtectaBEE™ is a plug & play system, it means we can create all sorts of inserts and additions.
