Ant Control Spray - X-It Ant 225ml.

Got a problem with ants in your Beehive?

Ants love honey and some ants are omnivorous so eat the brood as well! A beehive is a perfect food warehouse for them. Ants don't sleep and can forage 24/7 if the temperature is over 10 degrees celsius. Bees have very little defence against Ants and they can cause far more damage than beekeepers realise.

These stainless steel feet are designed to create a barrier against ants entering your hive. Simply attach them to your beehive base/floor, fill the tray with vegetable oil and the ants are stopped immediately!

The feet feature a rain cover for the tray to stop water getting in. This is important because otherwise water will sink to bottom of tray and the oil spills out the top. Then on a hot day the water evaporates and disappears.

The feet come in sets of 4: -

Threaded stud mount
This type is designed to be fitted by drilling four 10mm diameter holes of equal depth in your base (40mm) and then inserting the stud. With this method they can be easily added or removed. Drill 9.5mm diameter holes if you want the studs to be a firm fit. Tap the studs into the holes gently with a block of wood, before the tray is fitted. Technoset bases: - Remove the plastic feet from the base and there is a hole already in the base to suit the stud. Add some thin wall tube to the stud if a tight fit is required.

Tip. Ants will walk up grass or weeds to access a beehive. Keep all weeds or grass clear of the hive. Second hand carpet is usually available free in most places and is great weed matting. Mounting the base on a pallet is also very helpful.

Anti-wasp plate for Technoset floors.

This black plastic sheet slots perfectly on to a Technoset floor. It reduces the entrance to a small square hole right close to the cluster during winter. This stops wasps as they don't like the dark tunnel from the front entrance to the inside entrance. It also makes it easier for the bees to defend themselves.

Apiguard Thymol Gel.

The Thymol scent is very powerful at killing any Varroa mites that are in the hive but not in capped brood.

50g tray - Use one tray per hive per application.

3kg Tub - Comes with measuring scoop - 50g per application

Full instructions are included with each dispatch.

Recommended application:- Put 50g (there is a measuring scoop that comes with the tub) on a supplied card on top of the upper most brood box with a spacer rim or empty super. 

The bees take the gel out of the hive. That activity spread the vapours through the brood box. 

Repeat the procedure 2 weeks later with another 50g dose. 

Registered for use in Australia in NSW and ACT as at 13-10-2023.

Keep your Apisolis smoker topped up with the refill bottle of the fragrance. 

Apisolis Native fragrance composition: Propylene glycol of plant origin & ECOCERT certified. Active ingredients present in essential oils.

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.

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!

Apistan. 10 strips per packet. Price is for a packet of 10 strips.

120 packets of 10 strips per outer carton. (1200 Strips)

Cartons of 120 Packs (1200 Strips) available for $4920+GST - Contact us direct to purchase.

Use 2 strips per brood box.

Key Facts:

• High proven efficacy in a six-week treatment period
• Long-term control
• Easy to use
• No detectable residue in honey
• Safe for bees and beekeepers
• The strips release exactly the right amount of active ingredient
• Effective again after a few seasons of non-use even where resistance was once present.

How Apistan works:
As the bees come into contact with the Apistan strip, they pick up a minute amount of tau-fluvalinate – whilst another similar minute quantity emerges from within the strip to take its place on the surface becoming available for other passing bees. As the bees interact within the hive, the active ingredient is spread throughout the colony.
