Convert a 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 side has no eggs. Scrape off any queen cells and insert a new caged queen. Alternatively, a queen cell can be added with a queen almost ready to emerge.

Nucs of this size require a lot less care and attention than smaller ones. During winter, the hives can share the warmth generated within the brood box.

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

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 Technosetbee roof.

To refill the feeders, simply lift the roof and top up without any disturbance to the bees. Alternatively, feeder valves can be fitted to the roof to avoid even lifting the roof when topping up the syrup.

Bees naturally grow quicker upwards rather than sideways so we have a second story divider available as well so you can add another box on top while still keeping the divisions.

Heavy Brood Grade

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 Weed Process 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.

Congratulations on enrolling in the Land Based Training Apiculture course!

As you will be aware some equipment is provided in the course but not all of the essentials. We have made it easy for you and setup these special packages to provide you with the rest of the essential equipment you will need. The items included are based on feedback from Tutors and what we see best for you.

This package is for people running 3/4 Depth hives and does not include Suit and Gloves. This is for students that have these already or would like to purchase a different style of suit and gloves. 

Included in the package:

2 x Assembled 3/4 Depth Boxes
These are extra supers for your hive. The frames below will go in these and they will need to go on the hive as it grows. They are untreated and will need painting like the box in your course.

8 x Wooden frames with Medium Brood Wax Fitted
These are for the first wooden box above - they are for the second brood nest. You will build the first brood box in your course. We have done wood and wax as this is the most natural and best for the brood nest. There is only 8 as we are allowing for a frame feeder mentioned below

10 x Plastic Frames with Beeswax Coating
These frames are for the second box mentioned above. These are for honey collection super and will go above the queen excluder when your hive is ready to collect honey. We have done plastic frames as these are the strongest and cope with rigorous honey extraction. More honey supers maybe required as your hive continues to pull in honey.

1 x 3/4 Frame Feeder
This is an essential part of a hive as in winter the hive can use up all its stores and need to be fed Sugar Syrup to stay alive. As mentioned above, we have only done 8 frames for the second brood box so you can fit this in. It may need to be put in your first brood box if your hive is only 1 story high.

1 x SS Queen excluder with wooden rim
When your hive is ready to produce honey you will need to put on the honey super mentioned above. This excluder will go between the brood boxes and the hive to stock the queen going into the honey and laying eggs. you only want honey bees in there!

1 x Emlock Strapper
Keep this around your hive at all times when you are not going through it. it will keep everything secure and tidy.

1 x Pack of 4 Apivar Strips
this is a varroa treatment for your bees. It is normal that within the first 6 months of having your bees, you will need to treat them for varroa. these strips will treat both brood boxes.

1 x Smoker 25cm
Smokers are an essential tool of the Beekeepers. The Smoke will calm the bees when going through them, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience.

1 x Kelly Hive tool - 24cm
When going through your hive, the hive tool will make it easy to crack the supers and remove frames for inspection.

If there's something in the package that you already have, get in touch via the form below and we can work out a custom package.

These Dividers work in with the Technoset Ecosystem. Made to slot into the brood boxes, they divide it in half or into thirds to give you mini nucs all under the same roof.

These also fit a standard brood box.
In some cases they may need a slight trim but usually fine.
A bottom storey divider suits a floor with a 20mm riser.
Our 3x3 adapter kit is designed to go on a standard box.

3/4 and full depth options are available for those doing either systems

Bottom Story: This is the divider board used in the bottom story of the Technosetbee Nucleus hives. It is what comes with most of the nuc packages and is always used on the bottom box.

Second Story: This is used to go in the second story on top of the bottom story divider. This means you can have a ten frame hive with 5 frames above the other. There are many advantages of this, the main one being that bees expand quicker vertically. This means your 5 frame nuc will become a 10 frame hive far quicker than if you put it with 5 empty frames in a single story 10 frame hive.

This goes on top of the Propolis mat to weather proof.

The semi-transparent cover is designed to let the light in which stimulates the bees to quickly fill the specially designed mat with fresh propolis.

The semi-transparent cover should not be used in hot weather.

Manufactured from high quality food grade polypropylene. Tough cross-rib construction.

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