All of the beeswax used for this comb foundation is first heated to approximately 110 degrees Celsius before being micro filtered to remove all dross and moisture. This ensures that when you buy our comb foundation, you are only paying for pure beeswax.

The filtered liquid beeswax then passes to the sheeting machine. This converts the beeswax from a liquid state into a continuous flat sheet and is one of the secrets of making high quality comb foundation. During this process, the beeswax gains greatly in elasticity and strength to the point where a piece of cold comb foundation can be scrunched up and then flattened out again without breaking.

The rolls of sheet then pass to the automatic milling machine. The pure beeswax sheet passes between two precision engraved rollers which imprint the pattern onto the beeswax. The continuous sheet is then cut to size.

Throughout the process, stringent quality control checks are continuously carried out. The life of our Comb Foundation is indefinite if stored in proper packaging and in dry conditions. Because of its purity, it is not attacked by wax moths.

You have our New Green Foam Mesh Bee Suit! The lightest and coolest suit possible

Introducing FeedBee Patties - the ultimate solution to boost your hive like never before! These patties have been trusted and used by beekeepers in NZ for over 15 years, and are specially formulated to allow maximum digestion of all the rich nutrients.

One of the key features of FeedBee Patties is that they contain no processed oils. Processed oils can potentially act as a laxative and cause bees to defecate lots of undigested food, which can be detrimental to their health. With FeedBee Patties, your bees will be able to consume all the nutrients and benefit from their full potential.

FeedBee Patties come packed in a cellophane bag that is 100% biodegradable. The patties are available in 300g packs that are packed in 3kg pails or 12kg cartons. What's more, these patties stay moist in the hive! The cellophane bag keeps them moist, and the bees chew them back as they go.

In summary, FeedBee Patties are the perfect solution for beekeepers who want to ensure their hives are healthy and thriving. These patties are specially formulated to provide maximum digestion of all the rich nutrients, and their unique packaging ensures they stay moist in the hive. Try FeedBee Patties today and see the difference they make to your hives!

Commonly used for honey production but can be also used for brood production.

Manufactured from twin-wall food grade polypropylene with 15mm EPS insulation fitted. This triple-layer combination offers far better thermal insulation for the colony to work and thrive unobstructed in all weather extremes. In Technosetbee hives, worker bees are constantly gathering nectar and pollen instead of consuming stored honey for cooling or warming up the hive. This behaviour results in bigger yields of stored honey after every nectar flow, benefiting both beekeepers and bees.

Supplied ready to use and completely non-toxic to bees. With a life expectancy of over 30 years, these products save the beekeeper a lot of time and money. No assembly, paint or preservatives are required. They won’t rot, warp or split.

To prevent drifting between beehives, a  range of colour options are available in Blue, White, Yellow & Green. For large indent orders, the boxes can be ordered with the bottom half a different colour to the top. (As shown in the photo)

Optional connector latches are available if required - you can purchase them here. Screw holes are pre-drilled to suit.
