Plastic Nuc Hive Entrance Closer

Control access to a compatible nucleus hive or smaller entrance with the Plastic Nuc Entrance Closer from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

Nucleus colonies contain fewer bees than a full-sized hive, so being able to adjust the entrance can be particularly useful during establishment and transport.

Reduce the Entrance for a Smaller Colony

A nuc often has fewer guard bees available to defend its entrance.

Reducing the opening can make the area more manageable during colony establishment or periods of robbing pressure.

Entrance size should still allow adequate bee traffic and ventilation.

Temporary Closure

A compatible closer can also be useful when the nuc needs to be secured temporarily.

When transporting bees, entrance closure is only one part of the preparation.

Make sure the box remains ventilated, secured and protected from overheating.

Lightweight Plastic Component

The plastic design keeps the accessory simple and easy to store with other nuc equipment.

Inspect it before use and replace it if damaged or no longer able to stay securely positioned.

Check Compatibility

The current Hornsby page identifies this item as an entrance closer for nuc equipment but does not publish detailed dimensions.

Check the entrance on your nuc before ordering where compatibility is uncertain.

For a compact way to reduce or temporarily close a nuc entrance, choose the Plastic Entrance Closer from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.
