Stainless steel (201) wire mesh 3,15/0,8 - 1 m

Stainless Steel Mesh 3.15 mm (201) – Durable Screen for Hygiene and Ventilation in the Hive

Provide your bee colonies with better air circulation and a cleaner environment in the hive thanks to quality stainless steel mesh. The wire screen is suitable for modern screened bottom boards and other beekeeping constructions where breathability, strength and long lifespan are important. Stainless steel handles moisture in the hive and normal working loads, lasting many seasons without the need for frequent replacement.

Bee-tight Mesh Size and Varroa Monitoring Support

The 3.15 × 3.15 mm mesh opening is chosen so that the screen reliably contains bees (is bee-tight), but at the same time allows Varroa destructor mites to fall through onto the bottom board. This makes it ideal for manufacturing screened varroa bottom boards, which help monitor natural mite drop. Compared to galvanized mesh, stainless steel has the advantage of better corrosion resistance, which is accelerated by humid environments and the use of organic acids when treating bee colonies.

Protection Against Pests and Wide Use in Beekeeping

Wire with 0.8 mm thickness combined with 201 stainless steel provides high mechanical strength. Unlike plastic screens, which can be damaged by wasps or mice during winter, stainless steel mesh forms a significantly more resistant barrier. In addition to varroa bottom boards, you can also use it in manufacturing swarm traps, transport boxes, mating nucs, or as ventilation screens in covers and other ventilation openings.

Technical Parameters

Price is stated per 1 running meter (rm) at 1 m width. When ordering multiple pieces, we supply the mesh in one piece (e.g., 3 pcs = 3 meters in one piece), so you can cut it exactly according to your needs with minimal waste.
