Hive-Five Multi-Guard Extender – Needed for Certain Nationals Only

You ONLY need this extender if you have a National hive with a notch cut into the entrance floor (see photo below). If your National floor doesn't have this notch — or you have a Langstroth, Maisemore, Smith, Dadant, Commercial or Hyde Long Hive — you do not need an extender. The Multi-Guard fits straight on.

Notch cut into a National hive entrance floor - only these need the extender

If your National floor does have the notch, this simple UK-made add-on extends the wings of your Multi-Guard to fit. It is colour-matched to your Multi-Guard and glues on.

Fitting: glue it on using a good-quality superglue, and let it cure for a day or two before use at the apiary.

Tip: a spring clamp or bulldog clip is useful to press the parts together while the glue cures.

  • Extends entrance coverage for National floors with the notch cut
  • Colour-matched to your selected Multi-Guard
  • UV-treated and built to last
  • Simple, tool-free glue-on fitting using a good-quality superglue
  • Designed and made in the UK for UK beekeepers

£1 per extender set.

Last year, I bought two hive entrances and three more this year. I love them, they are great colours and such an easy way of quickly changing the entrance. They arrived quickly and came with a little baggy with wildflower seeds and a handwritten note. How sweet is that?! I can definitely recommend them!

Brilliant bit of kit — I have two now, thank you for inventing it. Ideal for my small apiary, and easy to fit.
