It works by masking round hive entrances and altering the physical structure of the opening, making it difficult for small hive beetles to navigate and enter the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1564\" data-start=\"1251\"\u003eThe Guardian is designed specifically for use over round entrance holes that are commonly drilled into the side of hive bodies or used as upper entrances. The physical edges of the entrance create a challenging surface for small hive beetles, while still allowing honey bees to move through the entrance normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1839\" data-start=\"1566\"\u003eIn addition to the physical barrier, the Guardian incorporates red light technology. According to the manufacturer, red light has been shown to deter small hive beetles and interfere with their ability to invade colonies, adding another layer of protection at the entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2163\" data-start=\"1841\"\u003eThe Guardian Bee Hive Upper Entrance is compatible with standard 10-frame and 8-frame Langstroth hives, as well as 5-frame nucleus colonies. Installation is straightforward and adapts easily to a variety of hive configurations, giving beekeepers an additional tool to help protect colonies from small hive beetle pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-hyperlinkruns='{\"1\":848,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.foxhoundbeecompany.com\/collections\/small-hive-beetle-control\/products\/guardian-bee-hive-entrance\"}{\"1\":871}{\"1\":904,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.foxhoundbeecompany.com\/collections\/small-hive-beetle-control\"}{\"1\":929}{\"1\":935,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.foxhoundbeecompany.com\/collections\/pest-control\"}{\"1\":963}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":17}{\"1\":18,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":118}{\"1\":327,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":354}{\"1\":355,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":473}{\"1\":750,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":838}{\"1\":848,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":1136076},\"9\":1}}{\"1\":871}{\"1\":904,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":1136076},\"9\":1}}{\"1\":929}{\"1\":935,\"2\":{\"2\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":1136076},\"9\":1}}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":1049473,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"23\":1}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"The “Guardian” is a patented technology that keeps small hive beetles from entering a beehive by masking the entrance.
