A practical solution for your beehives: this zinc-plated steel wire mesh offers effective protection against mice or can be used in the manufacture of modules against the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina). Designed for both professional and amateur beekeepers.

Thanks to its robust structure and zinc-plated finish, this mesh allows for adequate ventilation at the hive entrance or base, while limiting access for rodents and other intruders. It is also ideal for adaptations in beekeeping facilities that require protective grilles or perimeter enclosures.

• Wire diameter of only 0.8 mm, which facilitates cutting and handling with common beekeeping tools.
• 8×8 mm grid: small enough to prevent access by mice and other small mammals without hindering ventilation.
• Generous roll dimensions 25 m long × 1 m wide: high performance for a multitude of hives and adaptations within the beekeeping operation.
• Electrowelded and zinc-plated steel, which ensures a long service life in outdoor environments and beekeeping exposure.

• Installation at pigeonholes as a barrier against rodents.
• Manufacturing of custom modules, separation grids or ventilation in beehives.
• Adaptations for pest control or exclusion systems.
• Temporary or permanent access closures in areas where frames, wax, honey or beekeeping material are stored.

Installation recommendations:
Cut the fabric to size using metal cutting pliers, then screw or staple it onto wooden slats or metal profiles, depending on the support. Ensure the edges are clean to avoid harming the bees or the beekeeper.

Maintenance:
Although zinc plating offers good protection against corrosion, annual inspection is recommended. In high humidity or salinity environments, consider adding an additional protective coating to extend its lifespan.
