5.0 DISEASES, POISONING AND PESTS

The candidate will be:

 5.10 able to describe how mice and other pests can be excluded from hives in the winter.

NOTES

Mice can be excluded by covering the entrance with a mouse “guard”. This is usually a slotted zinc strip, but any design with holes too small for a mouse to get through (~10mm) will work.
