This has got to be one of the best designed pollen traps available!

It consists of four interconnecting parts.The base, the active plate, the upper protective cover to prevent contamination from the frames above, and the two trays responsible for holding the collected pollen and keeping it dry.

The active plate and protective cover can be removed at any time by sliding them outwards to free the entrance until the next scheduled collection. NB. In the photo, the full depth brood box and the floor (bottom) are shown for illustration purposes only and are not part of the kit.

Mouse proof! Avoid the embarrassment and health hazards of unwanted droppings in your pollen as can happen on some traps.

Rain proof! Even after a lot of wet weather, the pollen trays stay dry.

Incorporates a drone side entrance with a secure sliding door.

Two trays will hold up to 400 grams of pollen.

This trap is designed to fit the Technosetbee floor but a standard wooden floor can be modified to suit if required.

Propolis collection is a great way to secure additional revenue from your apiary.

Simply position the high quality polythylene mat over the top of the frames in the bee hive and fit the semi-transparent cover over top to weather proof. The bees do not like the light coming through the cover and will fill the mat with Propolis quicker than any other system available. Depending on the bees and local conditions, this can take between one and four weeks to fill. Remove mat when full, bag it and freeze it. The Propolis mat can then be gently bent and twisted to cause the frozen lumps of Propolis to fall out into the bag.

The Technosetbee Propolis Collector System provides the most efficient means available for collecting clean, high quality propolis with minimum labour!

• Easy to clean
• Reusable.

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

This excluder incorporates an innovative entrance 120mm wide with a landing board and allows the field bees direct access to the honey supers. They can gather more nectar if they don't have to go through the excluder and brood nest to exit the hive. The excluder mesh is a semi-square profile which makes it easier for the bees to get a grip and pull themselves through as compared to round mesh excluders.

The excluder comes fitted with a sliding door. If required, it can used to block the entry when the beehive is shifted.

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

Weight: 0.4 Kg

A marvel of engineering!

The queen breeding “machine” is here to boost efficiency and productivity. One batch of eight mated queens can pay for the initial investment. With a design life of 30 years, the Q8 is an excellent investment and a great profit winner for any queen breeder.

The Q8 is comprised of 8 independent chambers ready to receive a mature queen cell on a Tri-fold frame. These chambers are incorporated in a full depth brood box. Manufactured from twin-wall food grade polypropylene with 15mm EPS insulation fitted. The Q8 is supplied as a complete kit and is fully assembled with a vented floor, latches and roof.

The unique full depth Tri-fold frame unfolds to a standard size Langstroth frame. Provision is made for 2 wires to secure the comb foundation in each of the 3 sections. When the comb is drawn and is full of brood and supplies, the frame can be removed from the hive with all the bees attached, unclicked and folded to make 3 small frames, then transferred to one compartment of the Q8 nucleus hive for mating queens or raising new colonies. The common procedure is to insert a queen cell that is ready to emerge into each chamber.

Plastic foundation can also be used. Cut to size and attach it to the frame with the stainless steel screws that come with the Q8. We can supply sets of 24 panels already pre-cut, shaped and drilled. See below.

Three 3mm removable dividers on each side allow you to choose how many frames you want in each hive space. Easy to overwinter mated queens and supply your nucs in early spring. Some areas will be OK with just 2 frames together over winter (four hives per Q8), others will need 4 (two hives per Q8). Even with all the dividers installed, the bees share each others warmth to increase efficiencies.

There are 8 independent top feeders for solid and liquid feed supplements. They incorporate a vent to prevent condensation and all fit neatly inside the vented roof. Each feeder can hold up to 400ml of syrup plus a protein supplement.

Separate entrances with colored landing boards are used to avoid drifting between each chamber. Plastic queen excluders are included, and can be fitted to the entry to prevent accidental contact with other mated queens. Stainless ones available here

Flip-up the landing boards (locking position) to lock the bees in for safe transportation.

The Technosetbee package includes:

• Vented floor,
• FD brood box with all the internal dividers
• 7 side entries and two floor entries. (One front chamber has two entries)
• 7 queen excluders

A pair of Entry Guards are supplied with every floor. (No extra cost) There are two types available and need to be specified when the floors are ordered. There is a reversible type and the standard type. These are locked in place by the Super. The top piece clicks down to prevent bee movement while shifting. They keep mice out and help the bees to control wasp entry. They can be switched to prevent bees escaping while shifting a hive and can be removed during the honey flow to allow maximum entry size.
