the internal pollen trap 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.

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

The perfect tool for easier larvae grafting and Royal Jelly production.

Manufactured from high quality food grade polypropylene.

Features:

• Holds up to 60 cell cups
• 360 degree rotating bars

• 3 cell bars
• 60 cell cups
• 1 modified full depth frame.

Convert a full depth Technoset brood box in the most efficient way to start nucleus hives.

In a hurry to split hives? Fit the kit to a single brood box and come back 3 days later to see which two nucs have no eggs. Scrape off any queen cells and insert a new caged queen in each. Alternatively, two queen cells can be added with queens almost ready to emerge.

During winter, the hives share the warmth generated within the brood box.

In the case of a lost queen, a divider can be removed and the two colonies united.

Each feeder has a compartment with a lid for feeding pollen patties or protein supplements. The bees can only access the syrup in a narrow passage to prevent drowning. The feeders have vents to allow damp air to disperse through the vents in the Technoset roof. To refill the feeders, simply lift the roof and top up without any disturbance to the bees. Alternatively, three feeder valves can be fitted to the roof to avoid even lifting the roof when topping up the syrup.

The middle feeder includes the entrance for the middle Nuc and a sliding door.

This is an add-on kit for fitting to a Technoset beehive. Order beehives separately if required.

This kit contains:

• 3 Top inner feeders with dual compartments
• 2 Vertical divider
• 2 Independent entrance reducers with sliding door

Manufactured from high quality food grade polypropylene. Weight: 2.7 Kg

This unique full depth frame, unfolds to a standard size Langstroth frame. Provision is made for 2 wires to secure the comb foundation in each section. When the comb is drawn and it 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 a nucleus hive for mating queens or raising new colonies. It is especially designed to suit the Q8 Queen Mating Nuc. Click here for more info.

Plastic foundation can also be used. Cut to size and attach it to the frame with stainless steel screws.

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 
• 8 Tri-fold frames
• 8 Dual feeders
• Vented roof.
• 2 pairs of connector latches

The importance of fresh and unpolluted water near beehives has been widely misunderstood or underestimated by many beekeepers.

Under normal conditions a productive sized colony (around 60,000 bees) needs nearly 2 litres of water every day for cooling, feeding, diluting and maintaining the right level of humidity inside the hive for healthy larvae growth.

It takes around a thousand bees to participate and carry this load. By obtaining clean water nearby, the colonies use up less precious resources from the bee hive. 

Puddles in orchards and farm crops often contain spray residues and are frequented by bees if there are no alternatives. Secure your apiary hygiene and supply them clean and unpolluted water! 

In NZ, an adapter and quick connector is included to suit the common garden tap fittings. If a water supply tank is required, we recommend a tap is fitted to suit the standard quick connector. These taps are available from most department stores like Bunnings.

Features: 

• Food-Grade Polypropylene (PP) Twin-walled construction
• Adjustable water level
• Replaceable ball cock valve
• Floating PVC landing board that prevents bees from drowning
• Connects with the local fresh water supply system or a water tank.
• 10 Litre capacity
• 5-year Warranty
• Dimensions: 495mm long x 390mm wide x 205mm high
