Is there a solution for shrews?

Karen Kimball

A number of beeks in this area use 1/2 " hardware cloth. Cut about 4" wide 
and as long as hive entrance. Bend lengthwise in center into a 'V' shape and 
force into the hive entrance. Leave enough exposed to grasp for removal at 
will. We leave these in all year, cuts down on robbing as well. Do to the 
angle of the bend at entrance mice/shrews can not enter, simple and 
effective.
