Protect your hive from unwanted intruders with this durable stainless steel mouse guard. Designed to fit most industry-standard 8-frame hives, it keeps mice out while still allowing your bees full access through precision-cut holes.
Why it matters: Mice can cause serious damage—chewing comb, contaminating frames, and stealing precious honey. Installing a mouse guard is a simple, effective way to safeguard your hive, especially as cooler weather sets in and rodents look for a warm place to nest.
Made from a single piece of stainless steel, this guard is easy to install—either during hive assembly or afterward. If installing while bees are active, a drill is recommended over hammering to minimize disturbance.
Tip: Aim to have your guard in place by early fall (around September), before mice start seeking shelter. Your bees—and their honey—will thank you!
