FOR THE APIARY

Place the queen into the apparatus from the specific entrance points. The queen will give birth in the artificial cells which you can remove from the back side of the device the following day. You can repeat as many times as you want. You can add frames from other colonies in the hive to maintain its population. The device is equipped with a queen excluder lid so that the worker bees can attend to the queen while she is unable to escape. Consists of: 1. Tray with connectors to the artificial cells 2. Front lid with the queen excluder 3. Back cover with the insertion port for the queen Artificial cells not included, should be ordered separately. The apparatus capacity is 110 artificial cells.

Appropriate artificial cells for the bee queen rearing device. Before their first use put them into a hive to absorb the smell of the bees. Set of 100 pieces.

Nail under the top slat of the frame and create a fixed location to temporarily snap artificial cells bases ref.IZ65202.

This is another way to extract the queen from the frames and mark her with ease. You gently enclose the queen inside the big opening of the tube and she walks in. Cover the tube with your hand and she will walk towards the top of the tube with the plastic screen. Bring up the soft plunger in order to immobilize the queen and mark her.

Ένας άλλος τρόπος για να αποσπάσετε τη βασίλισσα πάνω από τα πλαίσια και να τη μαρκάρετε με μεγάλη ευκολία. Ακουμπάτε το μεγάλο άνοιγμα του σωλήνα γύρω από τη βασίλισσα και αυτή θα αρχίσει να περπατάει μέσα σε αυτόν. Κλείστε με το χέρι σας το σωλήνα για να σκοτεινιάσει. Η βασίλισσα θα περπατήσει προς το φως και το επάνω μέρος όπου βρίσκεται η πλαστική σίτα.Φέρτε απαλά το έμβολο προς τα επάνω για να την ακινητοποιήσετε και να τη μαρκάρετε.

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.

Top feeder with two compartments for feeding both liquid and solid food at the same time.
Both compartments can be used for all types of food due to the holes and special plugs that come with the feeder. Thus, you can choose to feed your bees with pollen substitute together with sugar-water or bee candy at the same time. Or choose to fill both compartments with only sugar-water. The compartments can take 4 and 3 kg of sugar-water respectively.
Moreover, the feeder is divided inside and below in 6 independent parts so if you have more than one swarms in the same hive you could feed them all independently without them coming in contact. This is ideal for queen breeders and creation of new bee swarms during spring.
• 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 and you don’t come in contact with them. Ideal for fast feeding.
• Fits into the hive cover and alters the hive height only by a few mms.
• Has vent holes to allow humidity to escape the hive.
• Requires absolutely no maintenance.
• Built from high quality food-grade polypropylene.

After locating the queen, these catchers will help you grasp it without injuring it. Open the catcher and place it in the area where the queen is located. When you close the clip the worker bees will go through the gaps but the queen will not.
