The wedge is simply slid into the existing slot in the Segeberger Vario bottom board until it is securely in place. No tools are required, and the wedge can be just as easily removed if necessary.

The wedge narrows the Entrance but leaves enough space for a bee to fly through normally. The bees usually get used to the new opening very quickly.

The Velutina Wedge significantly hinders the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina ) from gaining direct access to the Entrance. Combined with careful hive management, you can noticeably increase the safety of your bee colonies.

Yes, the wedge provides effective additional protection against mice at the Entrance. Make sure the opening is appropriate for the colony’s size and weather conditions during the winter.

Store the pine wood wedge in a dry, well-ventilated place when not in use. You can carefully remove coarse dirt with a brush to ensure the wedge remains sturdy for a long time.
