Instead of this screen, I use Billy Davis' robber screen (search blog for this) and I never have robbing with the ongoing Billy Davis screen. Takes the bees a little while to adjust but after that they are fine.

I'm told that the hived bees (i.e. the resident ones) will very quickly find the right way out/exit, but that foreign/robbing bees will buzz around outside and be fooled.Mr. PG Gibsons BC Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898615018684327404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-53317837307354002152017-01-09T11:25:31.950-05:002017-01-09T11:25:31.950-05:00Suggest putting the screen on at night or early mo...Suggest putting the screen on at night or early morning before the bees are out and about. That way, the first time they confront the screen, they must learn the way out. That done, the way back in is made much easier. I use the robbing screen made by Country Rubes, which is very similar. Works well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489372556089805437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-6749892285967903252016-08-13T09:08:13.489-04:002016-08-13T09:08:13.489-04:00make a 15 square cm area by 15cm long entrance tun...make a 15 square cm area by 15cm long entrance tunnel.<br />This mimics a typical tree nest entrance. Honeybees know how to defend if they have one of these. you will find lots of your bees will hang out in it ready to defend the nest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529193711438187661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-1149954994689163672006-06-10T11:56:00.000-04:002006-06-10T11:56:00.000-04:00Wow, what a clever idea.
