Plastic WBC cone bee escape

• This traditional British design is made in plastic, zinc, aluminium and brass versions. The metal ones have 3 mm diameter holes. The plastic one is available in black or a speckled gold colour. The slots in the plastic are 4 mm (0.157″). All fixing holes are 1.6  – 2 mm in diameter.
• The original use of these cones was to allow easy exit of bees from the space between the inner and outer boxes of the WBC type of hive. To enable this the hole at the top of the cone is 7 mm in diameter.
• In recent years they have been used in the lid of a honey jar for trapping wasps (put a little jam and water into the jar).
