The finer details:

• Power: 12V; 240W; 20A
• With a fully charged 80Ah deep cycle battery, ~300 hives can be treated with 2 grams of oxalic acid, one treatment takes approx. 20 seconds
• Stainless steel acid-resistant frame and dispenser
• Accurate, no-overrun dynamic solid-state relay PID temperature control; i.e. no overheating, no waiting for cool-down
• Real-time temperature display, controlled temperature, temperature can be individually adjusted from 100-240℃, default temperature: 230℃, recommended temperature: 220-230℃
• Fast, tool-free, roll-on adjustment of the oxalic acid dispenser, with 1-4 gram scale, dispensing oxalic acid with one push. Replacements or extras are available here They fit perfectly in the handle as well as in the dispenser chamber.
• 6mm diameter strong brass outlet pipe, not prone to clogging as there is no pipe bend. Easy to access and clean in case of a blockage, the entire length of the tube is accessible
• Requires a 7mm diameter hole in the hive wall. See the video above for a range of options for location of the application.
• There should be a minimum of 100mm free space in front of the nozzle otherwise some of the Oxalic will crystalize on the surface and be wasted.
• Stable in the hive hole, does not fall out or tilt sideways, can support its own weight (do not lean on it!)
  
• Voltage indicator to protect the battery. Periodic monitoring of the voltage indicator is necessary, because the battery must not be over discharged! The exact voltage value which the battery can be discharged to, is specified by the battery manufacturer. Please check the instructions for your battery.
• Can be used with a car starter battery for up to 100-150 hives
• Insulated furnace, works well in cold, windy weather.

Pre-cut foundation fitted eight trifold frames from the Q8 Queen Mating Nuc.**

The 24 panels are cut to suit the frame shapes and are pre-drilled at the top of each panel with two holes for the stainless steel screws. The bottom two screws go through the holes in the frame and thread into the plastic foundation. See photos.

You end up with a good quality frame that is robust.

Buying one of these will get you 8 frames fitted

We all know how hard bees make it to get supers apart! Their propolis and wax sticks everything together like its glue. Getting supers apart can prove a challenging task. but not anymore with Beequip's latest release - The Box Cracker™!

After many Beekeepers requesting a tool to help with harvesting honey, we have developed the Box Cracker™. This is a tool that will make breaking honey boxes apart so much easier, and not only that, we made a Escape Tool to match it so you can put a bee escape on without even lifting the honey supers off.

It can be quickly adjusted to suit 6 different lift heights
