Spring of 2008 we were in southern Utah and the BEES were everywhere and flying in thick swarms.
Neighbor in CG had hood up and spent hours cleaning bee carcasses off of radiator and then using a fin comb to straighten all the bent/smashed fins.
Only place around was a feed store so I purchased a spool of 1/4" wire....measure what was needed then doubled it. Cut it out and then folded it in half overlapping the 1/4" squares so that opening was 1/8". Then installed it to the inside grill of my truck using tie-wraps.
Got loaded up with lots of bees and other large bugs...few 'parts' made it thru to cooler but easy clean off and no bent/smashed fins.
NOW IF I had access at the time to a 'real' bug-screen would have purchased one.
My crude one works and still on truck 8 yrs later.....new tie-wraps occasionally
