As seen in the drawings
The wide end has an opening cut into it in which the legs of the triangle fit their squared end into each edge. The legs also have at the opposite end a taper to allow for a small opening at that end.
The wood frame triangle then has a hard white vinyl cut to fit the underside stapled to it.
This wood and vinyl frame will now have a section of window screen cut to fit the topside of the legs while snugged tightly to the wide end as well. The screen is now stapled to these.
This now forms a gateway for the honey bees to follow deeper into the hive box.
The screen allows fresh air and light to show inside the hive and draws bees to the large end rather then the bees returning to the darker area at the small opening effectively trapping them in the hive.
The materials used make the invention allow for air and light to help guide the bees, but are not solely limited to these exact materials to be effective. The width, height and length would be relatively simple to deduce by someone knowledgeable in the art.
