Detailed Description

The Steel Small Round Disc Entrance Reducer offers a simple and reliable way to control hive access throughout the season. Constructed from galvanized steel, this reducer is designed for durability and long-term outdoor use.

The disc features a center-punched mounting hole, allowing it to rotate smoothly when attached with a screw (screw not included). Beekeepers can quickly choose between four functional entrance styles:

• Full open – allows unrestricted bee movement.
• Small hole – limits traffic while still permitting bee access.
• Queen-excluder slots – keeps the queen inside while workers come and go.
• Ventilation holes – ideal during transport or times when the hive needs airflow without an open entrance.

Measuring 2-5/8 inches wide, this compact entrance reducer is especially useful for nucleus hives, swarm traps, and transport setups, where controlled access is essential.

These entrance dials are commonly used as a part of a swarm trap or a nucleus hive.
