Galvanize wire mesh 3,15/0,8 - roll 10 m
Galvanized Wire Mesh 3.15/0.8 – 10 m Roll
Do you need reliable material for hives and beehive boxs that supports hygiene and proper ventilation? Galvanized wire mesh with 3.15 × 3.15 mm mesh size, 0.8 mm wire thickness and 1 m width is a proven choice for manufacturing and repairing beekeeping equipment. Thanks to its durable surface treatment, it withstands the humid environment in the hive well and provides long-term resistance to corrosion.
Why it's suitable for beekeeping
Healthy bee colonies depend on cleanliness and stable microclimate. You can use this mesh everywhere you need to prevent bee passage while maintaining maximum air circulation. The 3.15 mm mesh size is bee-tight – bees cannot pass through, while small debris and hive debris (including mites) fall through to the bottom board where they can be easily monitored and removed.
Where you'll most commonly use the mesh
The 0.8 mm wire thickness gives the mesh the necessary rigidity, so it doesn't twist or bend during normal use. In practice, it's particularly useful for:
1. Screened (hygienic) bottom boards: Ideal for hive ventilation and year-round monitoring of debris on the bottom board without unnecessary disturbance to the bee colony. In cold periods, it helps reduce moisture and thus the risk of comb molding.
2. Swarm boxes and mating nucs: When capturing swarms and during queen rearing, it's crucial to prevent overheating in enclosed spaces. The mesh ensures safe ventilation while maintaining bee-tightness.
3. Transporting bees: Suitable as ventilation screen for closing hive entrances or top ventilation during transport, when you need to maintain air circulation while safely securing the bees.
4. Pest protection: The more robust construction helps limit the entry of small pests (e.g., mice or shrews) into the hive space without restricting ventilation.
Technical specifications
Overview of specifications for easy planning of hive assembly manufacturing and repairs:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Material | Steel wire, galvanized (corrosion resistance) |
| Mesh size | 3.15 × 3.15 mm (bee-tight) |
| Wire thickness | 0.8 mm (sturdy construction) |
| Roll width | 100 cm (1 m) |
| Sales packaging | 10 m roll |
Purchase information
For easy handling and transport, purchase is only possible in complete rolls (10 m). One roll typically provides enough mesh for manufacturing multiple bottom boards or ventilation openings – depending on hive type and chosen construction dimensions.
