Robbing screens

Robbing screens are specialized devices designed to prevent robbing at hive entrances. These screens create a maze-like entrance that confuses robber bees, while allowing bees from the colony to navigate freely. Robbing screens are installed at the hive entrance during robbing periods. They are particularly useful in apiaries prone to robbing or when managing weaker colonies. Robbing screens are a commercial solution and are available from beekeeping suppliers. They are typically made of mesh or plastic and are designed for easy attachment to hive entrances. Robbing screens themselves are the primary equipment needed for this solution.
