Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic DIY tools. The process involves securing the top section through the door into the top hinge area, followed by securing the striking plate directly beneath the bee body. Always ensure the door is marked accurately before drilling to avoid misalignment.
For ongoing care, the finish is sensitive to harsh chemicals. Only use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dust or grime. Avoid using abrasive sponges, wire wool, or metal polishes, as these can strip the grey coating and damage the underlying brass finish.
