Price excludes GST
Discover Apisolis, the future of beekeeping innovation. Revolutionizing hive inspections, Apisolis provides a modern, healthier alternative to traditional smokers by harnessing the power of gentle and safe vapour.
Key Features:
Comfort: Apisolis excels in user-friendliness. Featuring automatic shut-off for efficiency, it simplifies hive inspections, making them smoother and more enjoyable.
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. Smoke from fires is carcinogenic and some beekeepers get asthma from the smoke inhalation. Use Apisolis to avoid these health hazards.
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.
Top Quality. Made in France.
Pack Contents:
This comprehensive pack includes everything needed to begin using Apisolis:
Apisolis complements rather than replaces traditional smokers and is ideal for non-aggressive colonies and routine checks. It’s the preferred choice for beekeepers prioritizing health, bee welfare, and environmental impact. Start with Apisolis today for gentler, safer, and more sustainable beekeeping practices.
Excellent tool for AP2 apiary inspectors. Fit a plastic bag over the Apisolis, cut a hole for the nozzle. It can then be used without soiling it with potential AFB contamination. Simply change the bag for each apiary and the bellows don't have to be sterilized. Save heaps of time!
Apisolis Native fragrance composition: Propylene glycol of plant origin & ECOCERT certified. Active ingredients present in essential oils.
The integral battery is 4400 mAh capacity. A 1 amp charger will take around 4 hours to charge it.

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.
B. Find the queen and enclose in 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!

InstantVap COMPACT 18 volt
760-0050-Ma
Price excludes GST
The latest 2nd Gen Version of the all popular InstantVap has dropped!
Meet the InstantVap COMPACT!
Similar to the previous generation, this makes vaporizing oxalic acid (OA) in beehives an absolute breeze, however it is better in many ways!
NEW Design:
With a radical overhaul this unit is a lot smaller, lighter and stronger than the previous unit. Focusing on the essentials, this unit is more practical in the field. The unit sits a lot better with most standard batteries. With only one switch, the unit is simply controlled by an LED light.
NEW LED light
This unit is preset to all the right parameters and all you need to do is watch the flashing LED. The light is easy to see even on sunny days. Engraved on the unit is the following guide so you know what your InstantVap is doing:
By simplifying and making all these changes this new generation is available at a more affordable price!
It is very cheap per application! The Oxalic Acid only costs 1.5 cents per beehive for a 3 gram dose (based on buying a 25kg bag for $120.00 +GST in Feb 2023). Treat 1000 beehives for only $15.00 +GST for materials.
The InstantVap is powered by common power tool batteries including:
The device is compatible with only one type of battery. Please select your type carefully. Price does not include any batteries.
Check out our InstantVap Operational Guide for more info
Applications & suggested dose rates. (Also view the video. See the link below.)
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 to trap all the vapour in the beehive while treating other beehives.
2. For beehives with vented bases, use a vent blocker sheet and carry out the same process as stated above. The vent blockers can be removed after 5 - 7 minutes.
3. For beehives with vented bases that are very difficult to block, we recommend that you do a 3 gram dose from the top of the hive. A small notch cut from the rim of the hive mat is excellent for winter ventilation and a great spot to apply the vapour. If the beehive has lots of honey supers, a notch cut from the rim of the queen excluder can give good access for the vaporizer. we sell stainless steel excluders with an entry door which is ideal. See the examples on the video.
4. Alternatively, the vapour can be applied through a hole in the front plate of the brood box for the fastest application. Drill a hole as high as possible in the top brood box but close to the side so the vapour penetrates the hive between the outer wall and outer frame. Drill a 6.5mm hole if using the brass nozzle bare. Drill a 9.5mm hole if using the silicon sleeve on the nozzle. After application, the hole can be blocked up with a golf tee.
