Stainless steel (201) wire mesh 3,15/0,8 - roll 10 m
Stainless Steel Wire Mesh for Beekeepers – Durable Mesh 201 (10 m Roll)
Looking for a reliable and durable solution for manufacturing or repairing your hives? This stainless steel wire mesh is designed precisely for the needs of modern beekeeping. Thanks to the use of stainless steel and specific mesh size, it represents an ideal choice for anyone who wants to provide their bees with a hygienic environment, perfect ventilation, and safety.
Maximum Strength and Material Durability
Unlike common galvanized meshes that can corrode over time due to moisture and formic acid (used in treatments), this mesh is made from stainless steel grade 201. This material is characterized by increased strength and hardness. With a wire thickness of 0.8 mm, the mesh is very robust, doesn't bend, and excellently resists mechanical stress, for example when cleaning the bottom board with a hive tool.
Bee-tight and Perfect Ventilation
A key parameter for beekeepers is the mesh size of 3.15 x 3.15 mm. This dimension is 100% bee-tight – it safely prevents bee passage while allowing maximum air circulation. This is crucial for preventing mold in the hive and maintaining optimal microclimate. The mesh is thus an ideal material for screened varroa bottom boards, where it allows varroa mites to fall through beyond the reach of bees, making it easier for you to monitor mite drop.
Universal Use in Beekeeping Practice
With a width of 1 meter and total length of 10 meters, you get an economically advantageous package that you can use for many projects. The mesh cuts and shapes easily while maintaining its form. It's suitable for:
- Manufacturing varroa bottom boards and migratory bottom boards.
- Ventilation openings in hive covers.
- Construction of swarm traps and transport boxes.
- Mating nucs and queen excluders.
- Preventing access of rodents and pests to the hive.
Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value |
