ASA · £4–7 · 2 working days

National hive entrance reducer

National and WBC floors; other sizes to order.

1Why it fails

What goes wrong with the original.

Timber reducers swell and jam; the plastic ones from the catalogue are one size and the wrong one.

2 · Material

ASA

Outdoors at the hive entrance, all year. ASA for weather. Plain filament, no additives, washed before it leaves us.

3 · How it is printed

Orientation, infill and fixings

Printed to your exact floor width with one, two and mouse-guard apertures. Solid, so it cannot be chewed through.

4 · What we will not do

Stated plainly

Bee-safe and outside the honey path. We do not print feeders, extractor parts or anything honey touches.

5 · Price and time

£4–7 · indicative

Quoted properly from your photograph. Ready in about 2 working days from the original or a good picture; batches take a little longer and cost less per part.
