Why Choose Us
Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we focus on providing smart, durable, and efficient solutions for the modern apiary. We are proud to introduce our Multi-Functional Rotary Hive Entrance Disc, an essential piece of equipment for beekeepers who demand precise control over their colonies. This compact and versatile hive entrance is perfect for nucleus boxes, mating nucs, and as an upper entrance on standard hives.
Professional Design and Robust Construction
Engineered for longevity, this hive entrance is injection-molded from high-quality, weather-resistant plastic. Unlike wooden alternatives, it will not rot, swell, or warp, ensuring smooth operation and a long service life in any apiary environment. The disc features ergonomic notches along its edge, allowing for easy rotation even when wearing gloves. Available in a range of colors (red, yellow, green, blue, white), these discs can be used as a simple and effective hive management system to track colony age, temperament, or queen status at a glance.
Four-in-One Versatility for Complete Control
This innovative rotary hive entrance consolidates four essential functions into a single, easy-to-use device. By simply rotating the disc around a central mounting screw, a beekeeper can instantly select the perfect setting for any situation:
- Fully Open: A large circular opening allows for maximum bee traffic during strong nectar flows and periods of high activity.
- Reduced Entrance: A smaller, slotted entrance restricts access to the hive, making it easier for smaller or weaker colonies to defend against robbing bees, wasps, and other pests.
- Ventilated Queen Excluder: A grid of precisely sized holes allows worker bees to pass through but prevents the queen and drones from leaving. This setting is ideal for swarm control, queen rearing, or for providing ventilation while keeping the colony confined.
- Fully Closed: This setting completely seals the entrance, perfect for safely transporting nucs or full hives without risk of escape.
Sizing and Application
This hive entrance is designed for universal application where a single, round entrance hole is used.
- Diameter: 8 cm (3.15 inches)
- Installation: Mounts easily over a drilled hole in the hive body with a single, central screw (not included), which acts as the pivot point.
Common Applications:
- Nucleus (Nuc) Boxes
- Mating Nucs
- Upper Entrances on Langstroth or Dadant Hives
- DIY Beekeeping Equipment
Value for Commercial Beekeepers and Distributors
The HONESTBEE Rotary Hive Entrance Disc is a high-value tool that streamlines beekeeping operations.
- For Commercial Beekeepers: Increase your efficiency with this all-in-one solution. The durable construction reduces replacement costs, while the multi-functional design eliminates the need to carry separate entrance reducers, travel screens, and excluders.

- For Beekeeping Distributors: This is a must-have, high-volume product for your inventory. It appeals to beekeepers of all levels, from hobbyists to large commercial operations.
