Convert a full depth Technoset brood box in the most efficient way to start nucleus hives.

In a hurry to split hives? Fit the kit to a single brood box and come back 3 days later to see which two nucs have no eggs. Scrape off any queen cells and insert a new caged queen in each. Alternatively, two queen cells can be added with queens almost ready to emerge.

During winter, the hives share the warmth generated within the brood box.

In the case of a lost queen, a divider can be removed and the two colonies united.

Check out the video:

Each feeder has a compartment with a lid for feeding pollen patties or protein supplements. The bees can only access the syrup in a narrow passage to prevent drowning. The feeders have vents to allow damp air to disperse through the vents in the Technoset roof. To refill the feeders, simply lift the roof and top up without any disturbance to the bees. Alternatively, three feeder valves can be fitted to the roof to avoid even lifting the roof when topping up the syrup.

The middle feeder includes the entrance for the middle Nuc and a sliding door.

This is an add-on kit for fitting to a Technoset beehive. Order beehives separately if required.

This kit contains:

• 3 Top inner feeders with dual compartments
• 2 Vertical divider
• 2 Independent entrance reducers with sliding door

These high quality hose reels are an excellent way for getting your syrup from the tank to the beehive while keeping everything in a tidy orderly fashion. We know that these are put under great pressure when used by beekeeping staff therefore we didn't stop until we found ones of exceptional quality.

On each rotation, the reel has a click position where it can lock to prevent rewinding back. To release, pull hose out a small amount to release, then retract the hose on the reel.

Specifications:

Auto Retract Hose Reel with 20 metres of 20mm delivery hose and a dispenser nozzle fitted. Has a 25mm inlet fitting.

Due to the weight of sugar syrup, we recommend that the reel is mounted on a flat surface like as shown in the photo. Not mounted on a vertical surface.

Note: This stock is a particular batch of factory seconds and the foundation may warp over time. Usually fine for honey supers but not brood frames.

Comes fully assembled.

The plastic foundation provides a tough base for the drawn comb and will withstand rigorous treatment when going through honey extraction facilities.

Made from High Density Russian Pine, they are very strong and will last for many years.

The top bar is secured with four 32mm staples at the top and a 20mm staple on each end.The bottom bars have a machined groove to locate the foundation and are secured with 32mm staples.

This excluder incorporates an innovative entrance 120mm wide with a landing board and allows the field bees direct access to the honey supers. They can gather more nectar if they don't have to go through the excluder and brood nest to exit the hive. The excluder mesh is a semi-square profile which makes it easier for the bees to get a grip and pull themselves through as compared to round mesh excluders.

The excluder comes fitted with a sliding door. If required, it can used to block the entry when the beehive is shifted.

Can be used on any standard 10 frame Langstroth bee hive.
