nounbee escape (plural bee escapes)

plural bee escapes

  1. A panel having holes or mesh allowing bees to be removed from a hive before honey is harvested.

    Bee escapes have a long history in bee removal. These are simply one-way doors—bees leave a honey super and can't return, or at least they can't return the same way they left.
