Why Choose Us
Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we design equipment that enhances apiary efficiency, improves hive health, and delivers long-term value. We are pleased to present our Professional Reversible Hive Entrance, a revolutionary, multi-functional tool designed to meet the dynamic needs of commercial beekeepers and beekeeping supply distributors. This single piece of equipment consolidates the functions of an entrance reducer, mouse guard, travel screen, and queen excluder gate into one durable, easy-to-use unit.
Innovative Design and Superior Durability
This hive entrance is precision-molded from high-density, UV-stabilized plastic, ensuring it will not rot, warp, or break down like traditional wooden entrance blocks. Its robust, single-piece construction is designed for years of reliable service in any climate. The inclusion of two small, adjustable sliders allows for even greater control over hive access. Available in a variety of colors (red, yellow, white, blue, green), our hive entrances can also serve as a visual aid for hive management, such as tracking queen age or colony strength.
Dual-Function Versatility for Year-Round Management
The genius of this hive entrance lies in its reversible design. By simply flipping it over, you can instantly adapt the hive entrance to suit the specific needs of the season or task at hand.
Side A: Entrance Reducer and Mouse Guard
One side features a series of sawtooth-like notches. When this side is placed at the bottom of the hive entrance, it serves two critical functions:
- Entrance Reducer: The small openings allow worker bees to pass freely while creating a smaller, more defensible entrance. This is essential for protecting new or weaker colonies from robbing bees and wasps.
- Mouse Guard: The notches are sized to prevent mice and other small rodents from entering the hive during the autumn and winter months, protecting your colony and its winter stores.
Side B: Ventilated Travel and Queen Excluder Gate
The opposite side features a large, perforated section for maximum airflow. This side is ideal for:
- Hive Transportation: When moving bees, this side provides superior ventilation, reducing colony stress and overheating while keeping the bees securely contained. The two included sliders can be used to create a smaller opening or fully close the ventilated section if needed.
- Queen & Drone Excluder: The ventilation holes are precisely sized to prevent the queen and larger drones from leaving the hive, making it an effective tool during swarm management or when setting up mating nucs.
Sizing and Specifications
We produce this professional hive entrance in several industry-standard lengths to ensure a perfect fit for your equipment.
- Height: 50mm for all models.
- Available Lengths:
- 315mm: Designed for standard 8-frame Langstroth hives.

The Wholesale Advantage: Value for Your Business

- For Commercial Beekeepers: Simplify your operations and reduce equipment costs. This single, durable tool replaces multiple items that are easily lost or broken. Its plastic construction guarantees a long lifespan, saving you time and money on replacements. Improve colony health through better ventilation during transport and better protection from pests and robbing.
- For Beekeeping Distributors: Offer your customers a modern, highly functional, and superior alternative to traditional entrance reducers. The multi-purpose design is a strong selling point, and the availability of multiple sizes and colors allows you to cater to a broad market, from serious hobbyists to large commercial apiaries.
