Protect your colonies from the devastating effects of robbing with our durable and effective 8-Cone Galvanized Steel Bee Robber Guard. This essential piece of apiary equipment is designed to provide maximum protection for your hives, particularly during nectar dearths or when managing weaker colonies. Its robust, all-metal construction and intelligent design make it a long-lasting, indispensable tool for any commercial beekeeping operation.
Professional Design and Durable Construction
Engineered for longevity and performance, this Bee Robber Guard is built to withstand the elements and the rigors of a commercial apiary.
- Robust Galvanized Steel: The entire guard is constructed from high-quality galvanized steel, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This ensures a long service life, making it a reliable, one-time investment for protecting your valuable colonies season after season.
- Sturdy One-Piece Design: The L-shaped guard is formed from a single piece of metal for maximum strength and rigidity. It is designed to sit securely on the hive's bottom board and flush against the front, allowing for quick and easy installation or removal with just a few small nails or screws.
- Full-Width Hive Protection: With a length of 41cm, this Bee Robber Guard is perfectly sized to cover the entire entrance of a standard 10-frame Langstroth hive, leaving no gaps for robber bees to exploit.
How It Works: The Anti-Robbing Mechanism
The genius of this Bee Robber Guard lies in its simple yet highly effective cone system, which confuses invaders while allowing resident bees to pass freely.
- Confuses Robber Bees: The eight perforated cones create a complex barrier. Robber bees are attracted by the scent of honey diffusing through the perforations but are unable to get through. They become confused by the maze-like entrance and are unable to find the small, central openings at the tip of each cone.
- Easy Access for Resident Bees: The resident bees of the colony quickly learn to use the small openings at the end of the cones to enter and exit. This creates a highly defensible chokepoint, allowing the guard bees to easily fend off any would-be robbers that happen to find an entrance.
- Maintains Airflow: The perforations along each cone ensure that hive ventilation is not compromised, which is critical for maintaining a healthy colony environment.

Application Scenarios
A Bee Robber Guard is an essential tool for proactive hive management, especially during:
- Late Summer & Autumn: When nectar sources become scarce, the risk of robbing activity increases dramatically.
- Protecting Weaker Colonies: Smaller or less populous hives are prime targets for stronger, robbing colonies.
- During Hive Feeding: The smell of sugar syrup can trigger intense robbing behavior from nearby hives.
- Establishing New Nucs: Protect young, vulnerable colonies as they build up their population and defenses.
