Maintain peak performance with the Apisolis Replacement Coil. Durable, eco-friendly, and easy to install, it ensures smooth, reliable vaporization for your smoker.

Apisolis Replacement Coils are designed to efficiently heat the Native Solution, converting it into steam for your Apisolis Smoker. If your smoker isn’t producing enough steam, it may be time for a coil replacement.

To maintain optimal performance, check for liquid buildup beneath the coil and clean the connection pins to prevent interference. Before first use, soak the new coil in the Native Solution for at least 5 minutes to avoid burning the cotton inside. Ensure the sealing component is securely attached to the tank to prevent spills.

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

Check out the action video below!

Made in house from top quality materials and protected by a durable power coating.
This tool is built to last and will save you or your team hours of back breaking work.

Very similar to our standard 4 frame reversible extractor, yet motorized. This extractor makes the job easier and less tiring.

Reversible extractors make it easier to extract frames as you don't have to pull the frames out to extract the other side, you simple spin it in the opposite direction.

A simple speed controller with a digital readout of revolutions and with forward/reverse buttons, gives you accurate control on the extraction and keeps it consistent.

The machine is made from 304 grade stainless steel and has clear lids.

Approx dim when assembled: W700x700Lx1300H

The distance from honey gate to floor when the legs are fitted is 320mm.

240v Motor with NZ Plug

1. View video here. 
2. Ensure honey in the frames is warm enough. Straight off the hive is usually okay if the weather is not too cold and the bees have been brushed or blown off the frames. Otherwise, leave in a small warm room at around 28 degrees C for 48 hours.
3. Clean equipment before use.
4. Uncap frames as shown in video.
5. Use frames of similar weight on opposite sides to reduce vibrations.
6. Run extractor at about half speed to get half the honey out of the first side. If the frames have wax foundation and you go too fast, the weight of the honey on opposite side will damage the comb.
7. Turn frames around and spin honey from other side. Depending on honey type and temperature, one pass may be enough on second side or it may need to be done with 2 passes. 2nd pass can be faster than the first.
8. Shift frames back to first side and extract remaining honey with a slightly faster speed.
9. Let the honey flow out of the extractor through a stainless steel double strainer and into food grade honey pails with honey gates at the bottom.
10. Leave the honey pail in warm place for 2 days to allow any wax residues and air bubbles to go to the top.
11. Then you can decant beautiful pure honey out of the honey gate at the bottom into polyjars, or similar.
12. The wax cappings can be left to drain over a grid like a stainless steel queen excluder. (Leave in a warm place to allow maximum honey to drain from the wax.)
13. The drained honey can be poured through a honey strainer. (Repeat steps 9 – 11.)

All Frames are the common standard NZ sizing 

Assembled and wired.

Buy the bare frame ready for foundation OR 
Select Heavy Brood Foundation fitted option 

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.

Jumbo Depth - Your Russian Pine frame will be 286mm high, assembled and wired with brass eyelets on the end bars. Jumbo depth is usually used as an option of having just one brood super. This size is the closest arrangement you can have to the bees natural hive size in the wild.

Frame Endbar Size:

33mm - Your Russian Pine frames will be assembled and have an endbar size of 33mm. 33mm Gives you plenty of space in the brood box with 10 frames giving you more flexibility on how you place your frames and also allowing for the wax and propolis build up on the frames. This is often used in brood chambers as they get clogged up the most.

The all-new InstantVap® 18V TURBO has arrived — faster, smarter and more powerful than ever!

Building on the success of the Compact, the TURBO makes vaporizing oxalic acid (OA) in beehives even more efficient, with a high-power furnace, dynamic temperature control, and a smart LED interface for large-scale, reliable treatment.

NEW Turbo Design:
This model delivers quicker cycles (around 13 seconds per 2g dose) and precision control. With an easy-to-read LED display showing temperature, battery voltage, cycle counters and status lights, the Turbo is purpose-built for professional beekeepers needing speed in the field.

NEW LED display & counters
This includes live temperature and battery voltage, total cycles, cycles per battery, plus smart status light codes noted below: -
Slow blink = warming up, Solid = ready, Fast blink = vaporizing, Double blink + pause = low battery.

The Turbo combines strength and practicality — stainless-steel, acid-resistant frame, replaceable 6mm brass nozzle, double-wall furnace for cold/windy weather, and built-in over-discharge battery protection.

It is extremely cost-effective per application! Oxalic Acid costs less than 2 cents per hive for a 2 gram dose (based on bulk pricing). Treat thousands of hives for just a few dollars in materials.

Check out our InstantVap Operational Guide for more info.

The Vaporizer bowl temperature is very important to maximize the output of the Oxalic Acid without degrading it. Extensive lab testing shows that keeping the bowl temperature between 230 and 260 degrees Celsius is best:

Applications & suggested dose rates.

1. For beehives with solid bases, apply 2g of OA vapour at the bottom entry. Block the entry with a wet towel for 5–7 minutes.

2. For vented bases, use a vent blocker sheet, then follow the same process.

3. For hives with difficult-to-seal vented bases, apply 3g from the top via hive mat notch or excluder door/notch. See our stainless steel excluders with entry.

4. If the hive has a top feeder with a wooden rim, many beekeepers are applying the vapour through the rim directly below the feeder tray and into the bee space. Drill a 6.5mm hole in the rim on a slight downward angle to direct the vapour below the feeder tray. Plug with a golf tee or similar between treatments.

5. Through-the-wall dosing: drill a 6.5mm hole in the brood box and insert the brass nozzle. Plug with a golf tee or similar between treatments. It is best to locate the hole as high as possible at the side of the front plate so the vapour is directed alongside the outer frame. This method is the least most desirable of the 5 options.

NB. There should be 80mm to 100mm of free air space in front of the nozzle during discharge. Otherwise, 10% - 20% of the oxalic acid will solidify on a surface that is right in front and too close.

PETTIS TEST KITS: Find out what miticides are not working for varroa mite control and stop wasting money on ineffective treatments!

Use data, not guesswork.

The Pettis Test Kit is a practical and cost-effective solution for beekeepers to detect varroa mite resistance to synthetic miticide strips before it is too late and there are extensive hive losses.

Designed to provide reliable results, the Pettis Test Kit will identify what percentage of varroa mites do not die from the synthetic miticide that is being tested and are potentially resistant to it.

Save a lot of money by only investing in mite control treatments that are still effective.

Key Features:

• Robust and long lasting. The mesh cap is made from stainless steel to ensure a very long life.

• Effective design: The jar & mesh design eliminates any ledges that could hold falling mites and give a false reading.

  1 x Bee Scoop
  1 x Wash Jar
