American Hive Tool

$15.00

An American Hive Tool is the perfect device for opening your native stingless bee hive and cleaning propolis from surfaces before closing the hive up.

Model: Heavy Duty (40mm x 260mm 185g)

Hive Roof

$50.00

A pine roof painted with Dulux Weathershield will keep the sun and rain off your hive. The overhang will also stop water running down the side of your hive when it rains. The roof is 400mm deep, so there's plenty of overhang at the front as well as at the back of the hive. Mount the roof on your hive at an angle that suits your preference. For example, more sun on the side of the hive in the morning and more shade on the side in the afternoon.

Propolis (10 grams)

$5.00 each

Propolis is mainly used by stingless beekeepers in a donut shape on the inside of a new box to provide resources and a temporarily constricted entrance. The bees will use the propolis to build their defensive tunnel. These are unicorn shaped. Why? Because we found these moulds and thought they'd be fun. You can rework it into any shape you desire.

Mini Emlock Strap

$20.00

This 1600mm long galvanised strap with a mini Emlock hive lock is able to fasten single, double and triple level hives simply and easily. An excellent system to keep your native bee hive together.
