Beekeeping expanded metal - aluminum, mesh 4 mm, roll 0.42 × 10 m
In stock
Expanded metal for use in beekeeping. The mesh size was
selected so that bees could move freely and without problems over the surface of the expanded metal, they did not fit into the holes, but the holes were large enough for all the bees to
fall through. Suitable for use in the production of bottoms, swarm boxes or any products where it is necessary to have a ventilation hole through which
the bees cannot crawl.
Aluminium Expanded Metal Mesh 0.42 × 10 m for Beekeeping Use
Aluminium expanded metal mesh with diamond-shaped openings is a practical and durable solution for manufacturing hive floors and other beekeeping equipment. The openings, approximately 4 mm in size, allow bees to move safely across the surface without their legs getting caught. At the same time, debris and Varroa destructor mites can fall through. The mesh is therefore particularly suitable for constructing screened varroa bottom boards, which promote hive ventilation, facilitate monitoring of natural mite drop, and help maintain a cleaner environment within the colony.
Durable Material with Versatile Use
The expanded metal mesh is made from lightweight yet strong aluminium, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and the humid conditions inside a hive. Thanks to its long service life, it is suitable for permanent use in beekeeping operations. In addition to varroa bottom boards, it can also be used in the manufacture of swarm catching boxes, mating nucs, transport boxes, and other beekeeping accessories where effective ventilation is required while preventing bees from escaping. The material is easy to work with, cut, and shape, making it also useful in the workshop or for DIY projects.
Economical Roll for Manufacturing Beekeeping Equipment
The expanded metal mesh is supplied in a full roll with a width of 42 cm and a length of 10 m. This practical packaging provides enough material for producing a larger number of hive floors, ventilation openings, and other beekeeping constructions. The required pieces can simply be cut to the desired size and adapted to the specific hive type or beekeeping setup. The listed price applies to one full roll of 10 metres in length.
