![]() Plus, by installing your Mouse Guards now, you’ll get a jump on the mice who will be out searching for new, comfy digs when it gets cold outside. There are still warm days in the forecast for you to open up the hive and start checking off your Honey Do Beekeeping Checklist for October. October is the best time of year to install your Mouse Guards. We make them from wire mesh (hardware cloth) trapezoids, for you to place at each of the four entrances to your Beepod. Mouse Guards let bees travel in and out of the hive as they please while blocking mice and other small creatures from getting inside. They protect the hive and give you peace of mind that your ladies and their hard-earned food and comb are safe. That’s why our Winterizing Kit includes four Mouse Guards. It would be devastating for you and them if, after all of that diligent work, some hungry, heat-seeking mice squandered it all! You spend all spring, summer, and fall supporting your bees as they work every day to make food and build a thriving hive. Winter can be a worrisome time for beekeepers. Follow these steps to install our Mouse Guards and protect your hive from little critters. They keep mice out so your bees can get through the winter undisturbed. That’s why Beepods include Mouse Guards in the Beepods System Winterizing Kit. We know one of the biggest headaches beekeepers like you encounter in the winter is when mice break into your hive and destroy it. But the mice who decide your beehive is their winter oasis? Not so much. There are plenty of mice we all know and love. Mickey and Minnie, Stuart Little, Mighty Mouse, Speedy Gonzalez, and more.
