Beast Blocker
Fantastic item, fits perfectly over the hive entrance. Looks good, really effective
At Beast Blocker®, we believe this is the most effective entrance protector for your beehive. Period.
With the Beast Blocker® installed, you can:
Stop hornets and wasps from sneaking in, stealing honey, and killing brood.
Prevent robbing bees from overwhelming guard bees and stealing honey.
Keep mice out so they can’t eat your honey, pollen, or beeswax.
Minimize bee drift, reducing the spread of varroa mites, AFB, and EFB.
Protect against predators that attack guard bees, keeping your colony strong.
Easily seal the hive entrance while maintaining excellent front ventilation.
The Beast Blocker® trains your bees to make a 90° turn when exiting the hive.
They crawl up the front of the brood box, while invaders—drawn by the hive’s scent—remain confused and unable to enter.
Note: This product is designed for wooden hive floors and is fully compatible with our New Hive Defender Floor, which also acts as a wasp trap for extra protection.
For best results, install the Beast Blocker® early in the morning before bees begin flying.
Translucent front plate
Two colored entrance gates (pre-installed) that can swing open or click fully shut
7 screws (1 long, 6 short)
Score marks for trimming to fit 8-frame hives
Prepare your tools – Have a square-drive screwdriver ready.
Check the parts – Ensure the entrance gates are snapped in place and you have all screws.
Position the Beast Blocker® – Place it against the hive entrance with the gates closed. Ensure the bottom grill is flush against the landing board.
Secure the center screw first – Lightly thread the long screw through the center hole, then fully screw it in place.
Attach the side screws – Use the 6 short screws to firmly secure the blocker, ensuring the base plate and gates sit flush against the hive.
Your bees will quickly adjust to the new entrance system and orient themselves using the colored gates.
Your bees may gather at the front of the hive differently.
Instead of “bearding” (hanging in a mass on hot days), they will form a “plume” above the entrance to cool off.
This is normal, and they will return inside in the evening.
With the Beast Blocker®, your hive stays safer, stronger, and better protected—all while maintaining proper ventilation.

Totally confused wasps from entering the hive highly recommendable especially when used with the new hive floor with trap!
An excellent product. A well thought out design and well made, thoroughly recommend
After Thomas's fabulous talk at the Taupo Bee Club, I purchased Beast Blockers for all my hives. The wasps overwintered at our farm and are terrible already (Spring). We installed them all immediately and the bees figured out how to use them within minutes !! Very happy to know my girls are getting a bit more protection
Easy to install and works really well
Simple to install. Put on in a hurry due to presence of wasps. Took the bees a while ( 3days) to work it out. Works best if there is a flat ( 20 mm ) landing space in front of hive. Some of our bases have a sloping 100mm landing board which was challenging.
