Health: Designed with safety in mind, Apisolis eliminates flames, reducing burn risks and harmful smoke inhalation. Its gentle steam ensures a secure experience for both beekeepers and bees alike.

Safety: You can't start a fire with an Apisolis! Excellent tool when there is a fire ban. Many forestry companies ban smokers from their forests in summer. Here is the safe answer. Equipped with automatic temperature control and capable of producing uniform output, Apisolis generates vapors only as needed, minimizing accidents during use.
Durability and reliability: Built to last and is fully repairable with spare parts readily available ensuring a long lifespan and sustained performance.
Low running costs: The tank on the Apisolis holds 15 mls of fragrance and will last for 460 long slow puffs!
Integral rechargeable battery: Great for a days work. Recharge battery each night after use, or after each tankful of fragrance, whatever comes first.

Queen Excluder Cage for 1 frame. Stainless steel.
760-1010
Price excludes GST
Crafted from premium 304 grade stainless steel, our queen isolation cage sets the new standard for durability and corrosion resistance in beekeeping equipment.
Fits one full depth frame with either 33mm or 35mm end bars.
Applications:
A. Introduce a clean empty brood frame to the cage.

C. Position the cage into the middle of the brood nest.
D. A good queen will lay in virtually every cell within 2 days.
E. After 26-28 days, there will be virtually no capped brood and all mites will be exposed to treatment. Can be 23 – 25 days if there is no drone brood.
F. Vaporize with Oxalic Acid for virtually complete mite elimination.
G. Whenever desired, the frame of brood with queen can be removed from cage and added back to brood nest.
H. The cage can be removed from the hive or left at the side of the brood box with a food frame enclosed until needed.
Specifications.
Internal hive dimensions must be the Langstroth standard to ensure the cage fits properly and there are no gaps for the queen to escape.
Many beekeepers ensure their queens are marked so they are easy to find for caging when required. The labour cost for this procedure is negligible when compared to the cost of resurrecting colonies killed by varroa mites!
Three-frame cage available here.
As we see more and more varroa resistance to the synthetic miticide strips, beekeepers are turning to organic acids for successful varroa control. There is no evidence worldwide of the mites getting resistant to them. The stainless steel cages are very resilient in an acid environment and will not oxidise and deteriorate like galvanised steel products.
It pays to get quality!
