Bees+chameleon natural UV outdoor cage- what mesh?

[Twitchet]

Hi all, I'm wanting to make an outdoor enclosure to get my chameleons some natural sunlight-
The question is should I use mesh that will exclude bees but still be large enough to allow light in? I was going to use a half inch or inch mesh , I will add potted plants and can play it safe by not adding flowering plants but maybe I need to try and make it 100% bee proof with a finer mesh. We are in the depths of the country and there are hives close by. Maybe even a CB cham knows not to eat a bee but its not a risk I want to take!
The cage will be 6ft Lx 3ftH and 2ft d, starting at table height.
I am in England -dont laugh- we DO have sun - sometimes! the cage will face south on the side of my reptile shed and I will clad sides and roof with polycarbonate sheets to try and cut down wind , draughts and increase useable time they can have out there- front will be mesh clad doors..
Any info gratefully received.

One thing you could do is build whatever type of wire mesh cage you want, and when you know the bees will be around, slip a "bag" of mosquito netting over it. You can get mosquito netting for camping very easily, it doesn't need to be permanently attached, and it won't block much light.
