Beekeeping expanded metal - stainless steel, mesh 4 mm, roll 0.5 × 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.
Stainless Steel Beekeeping Expanded Metal Mesh – Roll 0.5 × 10 m
Stainless steel expanded metal mesh with diamond-shaped openings is a durable and hygienic material designed for the manufacture of beekeeping equipment. Thanks to its long service life, easy maintenance, and appropriately sized openings, it helps ensure effective hive ventilation and safe bee movement.
Mesh size suitable for beekeeping practice
Openings of approximately 4 mm allow bees to move safely across the mesh surface without falling through the holes. Hive debris readily drops through onto the monitoring board, making it easy to check the natural drop of the Varroa destructor mite. At the same time, the openings are small enough to prevent bees from passing through.
Durable material with easy processing
The expanded metal mesh is made from high-quality food-grade 304 stainless steel. The material is resistant to corrosion, organic acids, and weather conditions, making it suitable for long-term use in beekeeping operations.
The mesh is sturdy, dimensionally stable, and does not twist or distort during cutting or installation. The diamond-shaped structure allows for various orientations of the openings and provides sufficient versatility in the manufacture of hives and other equipment.
Wide range of uses in beekeeping
Stainless steel expanded metal mesh is used by hobbyist beekeepers and professional hive manufacturers alike. It is particularly suitable for making screened Varroa bottom boards, swarm boxes, mating nucs, and ventilation screens. It can be used wherever reliable airflow needs to be ensured without the risk of bees escaping.
