Beehives & Their Parts

They stabilize the hive bodies, the bottom boards and the cover during transport and during stay of hives in areas with strong winds which can displace the cover. Once you have completed the transfer and installation of hives at a new location, remove the straps. Thus, you also discourage hive thieves.

ANEL plastic honeycomb foundation, printed with absolute hexagons (5.6 mm). There is no need for riveting and applying wire on the frames anymore! They can be applied on normal wooden frames that have a slit on the upper and lower part. You can purchase these frames from us, otherwise, with the right tools and very little effort, shape your own existing frames so they can accept the plastic honeycomb foundations. ANEL plastic honeycomb foundations and frames will not be affected by wax moth. They will remain sturdy and you can use higher speeds in the honey extractor without destroying the honeycomb. Particularly useful for tight honey types. All ANEL plastic honeycomb foundations can come unwaxed or waxed. If you want to wax the foundations yourself you can either dip them in molten wax at a temperature of 60-70ºC or wax them with the help of a roll that you dive into the wax. Made of food-grade plastic. TIP: The ANEL plastic honeycomb foundation can be disinfected in 5% caustic potash solution at 80ºC.

For dilution of paints and cleaning of painting tools. Developed for use in paint sprayers.

With two possible positions (closed and safety), they are used during transport as well as for protecting the entrance of the hive against wasps, mice and other invaders. Their advantage is that they can stay permanently on the hive so the possibility of them getting lost is greatly reduced.

Can be fastened with screws on the hive cover under the feeding cap or simply placed on the frames. Simple to use. You will need to add a floater (ref.AN30029) or alternative floating materials such as wood, net etc.

A plastic entrance feeder of great sturdiness. Resistant to the sun and harsh weather. Easy to use and apply in the hive without having to open the hive cover. Manufactured by food-grade plastic. It is available in two sizes: 1kg and 1,8 kg.

The NEW ANEL propolis collection screen bears two holes that you can choose to open if you want to put solid food on top (bee candy). Thus, you will be able to feed the bees and at the same time they will not stop the collection of propolis. The sides of the holes also lift the center of the screen up so it does not bend in the center and the bees can fill all the screen evenly.
Propolis is a very promising product with a very good price, which may contribute to your income without requiring much effort or time. The propolis collection screens are placed on the hive top floor, below the cover.
There should be some space left above the propolis collection screen and the hive cover so that air current is generated from which the bees will try to protect themselves by filling the screen with propolis. To keep the required gap you can use the two spacers attached to the side of the screen which are foldable. Propolis can be extracted from the screens after you place it in the freezer for 5 minutes and then shake or rub the propolis with a piece of wood or your hand.
The screen can collect 60 to 80gr when full within 10-15 days. Usually applied in spring and autumn - a good year can give you around 400gr per beehive. All these results can vary depending on the race of the bees, the beehive, the fauna and the time of year.
Screen dimensions: 420x510mm - can be cut to any smaller dimensions you wish!

The grey propolis collection screen is softer and more flexible than the brown ANEL screen. As a result propolis is extracted easier even by hand and it does not need to be put in the freezer. Ideal temperature for extraction is 17-20°C.
ATTENTION, don't put it in the freezer because if it hardens and pressure is applied on it, it might break. It bears two holes that you can choose to open if you want to put solid food on top (bee candy).

Queen Excluder Injected with Two Entrances Plastic PP ANEL

Item Description: Queen Excluder with Two Entrances protected from wasps, Perimetric frame, Partitions for combination with vertical dividers for multiple colonies or other uses.

Properties - Uses:

It is used like all queen excluders interposed between the brood-chamber and the honey-chambers.

The doors open and close at will and you can have them applied to the hives during transport.

The perimetric frame makes it possible to use it as a double queen excluder by placing a single excluder on top of it.

Internal partitions offer a guide to be combined with vertical dividers to confine the queen even within a frame in order to:

· Treat (e.g. for Varroa) in a controlled brood environment.

· Limit the brood before flowering.

· Multiply colonies.

· Combine it with a common excluder in the upper part to turn into a double excluder. So, you have one queen up and one on the bottom.

· Combine it with a common excluder for multiplication: In this case you do the same thing as the vertical divider, but you put the entrances of the excluder facing the opposite side from the doors of the brood-chamber.

A plastic entrance feeder of great sturdiness. Resistant to the sun and harsh weather. Easy to use and apply in the hive without having to open the hive cover. Manufactured by food-grade plastic. It is available in two sizes: 1kg and 1,8 kg.

A plastic frame with integrated plastic foundation with perfectly printed hexagons (5,6 mm). No wiring or riveting necessary. Resistant to wax moths. It does not get unfastened or loose and does not “sag”. You can use higher speeds in the honey extractor without destroying the comb (especially useful for thick honey types such as fir). All ANEL plastic frames are available waxed or unwaxed. If you want to wax ANEL frames yourself you can either dip them in molten wax (temperature 60-70⁰C) or wax them using a roll dipped into molten wax. TIP: The ANEL frames can be disinfected in a solution of caustic potash 5% at 80⁰C.

Much lighter than metal excluders which makes them easier to carry, install and collect at the apiary. Perfect gaps that do not injure the bees. Just 3 mm thick so that the hive body connectors can be fastened. Resistant to oxalic or formic acid, or even steam (up to 119 °C).

Wax foundation with cells of 6mm diameter that will produce only drones. Using this kind of foundation in the brood chamber will guarantee producing drones. This is very helpful if you breed queens through artificial insemination or if you want to establish Varroa control as Varroa prefers drone cells. In this case, when the frame is complete and the cells are capped, you remove the frame from the hive.
