V-Gate Hive Mat
790-0011-FVG-W
Price excludes GST
Top Quality Hive Mat assembled in NZ — now available with V-Gate.
This NZ-assembled hive mat is built with a 21mm thick wooden rim and durable 4mm plywood centre board. Choose the standard version, or upgrade to the new V-Gate vapour port for easier, cleaner and more consistent oxalic acid vaporization.
The V-Gate is a dedicated vaporizing access point built into the 21mm rim. Instead of pushing a vaporizer through timber or using temporary access points, the V-Gate uses a metal-on-metal plate design to help reduce wear, maintain better nozzle alignment and make repeat treatments faster and more reliable.
It is recommended to drill a 10mm hole in the lid to align with the V-Gate so that the lid does not need to be removed for vapour applications.
Stock due August.
This product is currently available for pre-order. Orders placed now will be supplied once stock arrives in August.

Side V-Gate — fitted with the V-Gate vapour port on the side of the divider board.
Choose the entry and V-Gate positions that best suit your hive setup, yard layout and treatment workflow.
For example, a front entry is ideal when the upper section should fly from the front, while a side entry can help keep entrances separated during split management.
Important option note: Front Entry cannot be selected with Front V-Gate, and Side Entry cannot be selected with Side V-Gate. Choose opposite positions if both an entry and V-Gate are required.
