Simplified Hive Management: We understand that successful beekeeping requires ease and convenience. With Beequip 2-in-1 Beehives, you can effortlessly check the outer brood box, making colony inspections a breeze. You can also feed and treat for varroa mites.
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.
