Glass fibre mesh

Just wondering if anyone knows if this could be used for screen boards, travel screens etc or would the bees be able to chew through?

As a temporary travel screen it may be OK, whether the bees would chew through it in the longe term - well, the only way you will find out (I've never seen anyone using this stuff in the UK but I might have seen it used in the USA) is tp try it and see - for what it costs it's worth a punt !

I've just noticed the mesh size is 5mm though so need to find a smaller mesh then will give it a go.

Mine will completely remove the bamboo from foundationless frames and take the metallic layer off Kingspan.
That mesh might last a while but not permanently I'd say.

If you have to buy it it's £24 a roll so unless you can use it elsewhere it probably better to get a few sheets of varroa mesh instead
