Porter Bee Escape 'Bare'
SKU / BEESP
A bee escape is a one-way door that allows workers to leave the honey super and return to the brood nest during the night, but the board foils their attempts to reenter the box. This is used before extracting honey; place a bee escape board (or crownboard) below your box of honeycomb 24 hours before you plan to harvest honey, and you'll return to find a mostly empty box.
Description
Place the porter escape in a board with the top hole uppermost. Check that the plastic springs are 3mm apart. This supplies enough tension for the bees to pass through yet is close enough together to prevent their return. Remove the queen excluder (if using one) and put the bee escape board in its place below the super/s to be cleared.
You will need to fix this bee escape into a board, or buy one of our assembled bee escape boards.
