Before applying this method, always check the health and strength of your hive. This protective approach is particularly effective for weaker hives, such as those lacking guard bees at the entrance.
However, avoid using this method in hives where bees are forming a "beard" (bees clustered at the hive entrance). This behavior is a natural defense against hornets, and additional protection in these cases could do more harm than good.
Practical tips to keep in mind: • Regularly monitor and remove the reducer as needed to ensure adequate ventilation. • Neglecting this step could result in dead bees and drones clogging the entrance, potentially causing the hive to suffocate.
