You must be keeping a different species of bee mbc. Honey bees could not get in an entrance of 1/8th of an inch.
Unfortunately this probably is enough for a small mouse to get in, although a largeish one might find it a squeeze.Well spotted ! my mistake under 3/8 " maybe

MBC?
How much pollen is arriving over winter? Point 1.
2. If you are not using poly hives then you need a mouse guard.
3. If a mouse can get their heads in to a slot the body will follow as the ribs are very flexible.
4. How much do you value your bees at?
Because as sure as eggs if you dinna protect them from mice you will lose them.
