By creating a significant flow of air, into and out of the hive by flapping their wings, bees can manipulate ventilation from an entrance in summer A mechanism to reduce moisture. The flow of air can help reduce the build-up of moisture within the hive, which can be a serious threat to the colony in the passive environment of the hive during winter. As a staging point for the transfer of resources from forager bees to house bees . From nectar to propolis and water these are all essential resources for the colony.

Porter Bee EscapeThe basic principle of its use is simplicity itself - a one way valve. Place the escapes in the crownboard slot/s with the top hole uppermost. Check that the stainless steel springs are 3mm apart. This supplies just enough tension for the bees to pass through yet are close enough together to prevent their return. Remove the queen excluder and put the crownboard in its place below the super/s to be cleared. Bees leave the super, pass through the 22mm diameter hole and into the chamber of the escape. Once there the bees have two escape routes through the springs. If used properly, bees should clear supers over a 24 hour period.

Steel Bee EscapeSteel round bee entrance. 125mm diameter. Having the ability to configure and adjust your beehive entrances can benefit both the bees and the beekeeper throughout the beekeeping season. Often times, you will need to adjust your approach during different times of the year, and having the ability to adjust your entrances and remain flexible over the course of the season can be very helpful. For example, in a summer dearth when robbing activity is more common, the ability to reduce the size of the entrances provides assistance to your colonies when it comes to defending their hive against other bees. On the other hand, if you are treating for Varroa mites, these treatments will sometimes call for maximum hive ventilation, so having the ability to easily increase ventilation (via your entrances) will help in this regard. Over the winter, your entrance configuration is very much a personal choice and will depend on your equipment (well insulated or not at all), as well as locat...
