Were you looking for the best insert deal? Then you probably want the Beendle!
The Beendle includes:
*2 Vent Inserts*
*2 Vented Cone Inserts*
*2 SwarmStoppers*
INCLUDING 2 OF EACH:
Our ProtectaBEE™ vented cone insert is a brand-new addition to the 10-Frame ProtectaBEE.
Think of it as a little red bikini for the girls, just to cool them off when it's hot outside while protecting them from anyone who wants their honey!
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 red color ❌ 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 a powder to the "in" side and have the bees deliver products inside the hive without disturbing them.
Currently, we use Super-DFM Honeybee probiotics (sold here).
Our ProtectaBEE™ SwarmStopper insert keeps swarms in temporarily, allowing worker bees to leave and enter the hive while preventing the queen from leaving.
Great for:
1. You’ve caught a swarm with a mated queen and want to ensure they stay inside for a few days!
2. You find queen cells but don’t have extra equipment on site for a split. Give yourself extra time to get it all together!
Note it will only keep in a mated queen - not virgin queens! And sometimes mated queens will slim down for swarming - so there’s still a chance she could get through!
ProtectaBEE™ vented inserts can be used when MOVING a hive or adding venting to one-half of the ProtectaBEE™ when used in combination with an entrance reducer or no insert.
Allows a hive while preventing bees from leaving through the ProtectaBEE™ when used with two vented inserts.
Fits 10-Frame ProtectaBEE.
Remember you will still need the ORIGINAL ProtectaBEE, SOLD SEPARATELY HERE.
