Beehives & Their Parts

They simultaneously solve two problems: - Elevate the hive from the ground level, facilitating the beekeeper’s work. - Provide protection from crawling bugs, as they cannot enter the hive. You can also add repellant fluid (like petrol) or adhesive (like oil or grease) in the special tray. Any creature trying to cross Vrahipus will be trapped in place. The Hive Legs Vrahipus are designed to snap together; thus, you can add as many as necessary, to adjust the desired height. PROTECT YOUR HIVES FROM AETHINA TUMIDA ! The legs can be perfectly combined with bee pollen collection set ref. AN57100 or other entrance pollen collector, to protect your collected pollen from unwanted “visitors”. - TIP: To fasten the Hive Legs Vrahipus on an ANEL bottom board, you must first unscrew the bottom board bases (feet) and then snap Vrahipus in place. The bases snap very easily on the bottom of the Vrahipus feet. - TIP: To fasten them on wooden bottom boards or brood chambers, use screws that are 1cm longer compared to the wood. You will need 4 screws for each leg.

The transparent model of the professional top feeder allows you to see under the feeder and inspect the condition of the bees. The professional roof feeder, the ultimate tool for bee feeding, offers you the following: • Provides insulation of the inside of the hive in cold and hot weather. • When you fill the feeder, you do not disturb the bees, since they are completely isolated behind the divides. • Whatever the inclination of your hive might be the bees can consume all the syrup. • Suitable for liquid (syrup) and solid (bee candy) feed. You will never again have the leaks experienced with wooden feeders. • Fits into the lid and does not alter the hive height. • Has vent holes to allow humidity to escape the hive. • Requires absolutely no maintenance. Built from very durable material.

A simple and easy to use division feeder. Inside there are special indentations for the bees to easily climb up but it is recommended to use some kind of floating material (wood etc) for avoiding the drowning of bees. In order to refill it you have to empty it of bees. The solid internal structure averts deformation when filling the feeder.

To install the disk, you must open a 30-40mm hole on the beehive side. The disk is installed on the hive by passing a screw through the disc center. It features 4 positions/“settings”: (i) completely closed, (ii) completely open, (iii) bee queen excluder and (iv) protection from hornets. TIP: Can be used for multiplication and merging of colonies. Making a 4 cm hole and installing two discs on a wooden sheet with same dimensions as the beehive, allows you, by changing disc “settings” to use the structure for queen separation (exclusion) and merging of colonies: first leave the discs at “completely closed” position with ventilation for 1-2 days, allowing the transfer of smell between the two colonies; then turn both discs to “queen excluder” position, thus allowing communication of the bees, while the queens keep giving birth without being able to contact/harm each other (since the discs/excluders are placed in between the two different floors created by the installation of the wood/disc structure).

A modern tool with many advantages... • Double walled with the gap filled with polyurethane foam insulation. • With 2 ventilation plugs • With feeding plug on top • Unmatched impact strength and load support. • Anti-slip surface to prevent hives from slipping during transportation. • 4 points of attachment at the front, back and the sides (adjustable or wire type). • Resistant to chemicals (caustic potash, oxalic acid, formic acid, bleach etc.). If you use ventilated bottom boards the hive has adequate ventilation even without ventilation caps. Just think of the wild hives settling on the top part of closed spaces, like tree hollows.

Magnetic Numbers: Numbering your hives EASY, FAST & FLEXIBLE – Integrated powerful magnetic element

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.

Easy and fast feeding of syrup to the bees. Forget spilled syrups and carrying buckets. The 12 volt high voltage syrup/water pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch that opens and closes automatically when you open and close the hose nozzle.

Technical characteristics:
• Ability to pump 18.5 lt / pm
• Maximum flow rate: 7.8 (4.5GPM)
• Maximum pressure: 40PSI
• Motor voltage: 12V DC
• Automatic suction
• Pressure switch protection: With fully automatic ON/OFF control

What are the advantages of a ventilated plastic bottom board?
• Bees can keep the hive clean very easily.
• When applying treatments for varroa the parasites fall down under the hive thus treating the hive more effectively.
• Ventilation means less humidity and less humidity means fewer chances that nozema will spread in the hive. 

Amazing strength, fit for tough use. With five points for hive body stabilization. With bases of special non-slip material, screwed to the bottom, so that the hives do not slip during transportation by truck and the bases remain attached. Accompanied by very practical transportation-protection doors.

Can be connected with the hive body with four different ways:
1. With adjustable front and rear fasteners.
2. With wire fasteners right and left.
3. Screw-in. With special connectors so that the bottom can be screwed permanently on the hive body thus transforming into a brood chamber with non-atachable bottom board.
4. With attachment straps which can be removed after beehive placement to discourage thieves.
