Will it fit my hive?

The Multi-Guard was designed to solve several common issues—one of which is the varying sizes of wooden entrance blocks due to different hive floor openings. Our solution? We created a design where the central section fits snugly into smaller hive entrances, while the adjustable ‘wings’ on either end extend to cover any extra space for longer entrances. This ensures a secure fit across a wide range of hive setups, eliminating gaps and improving overall protection and performance.

If your hive entrance is longer than the Multi-Guard (441mm) then simply add the required amount of extenders at checkout (a £2 set contains an extender for each end) and we will colour match. 

  • WBC - Sadly we haven't been able to make this fit yet! So many designs but each one incompatible with the Multi-Guard. 
  • Thorne Langstroth - ever so slightly narrower than a standard Langstroth - if you would like us to trim 10mm off the main entrance block simply add a note at checkout.
  • Abelo - We are working on an adaptor so Abelo users can use the screens in the entrance slots. 
  • Swienty - please contact us direct as we can offer a slimmed down version that allows for the sloping entrance of the Swienty hive.
