Use these in the autumn when mice or other rodents may be looking for a warm winter retreat. The damage caused by mice etc. can be substantial if left to their own devices. They will eat honey, pollen and even the bees, destroy comb and generally disturb the brood nest. Mouseguards can be removed in the spring. A simple galvanised metal strip measuring 470x38x0.5mm with two rows of 10mm holes, so will fit all hives apart from the WBC. Held in position across the entrance of a standard floor by drawing pins

SEASONAL VARROA TREATMENT VarroMed® is the first EU wide registered Bee Medicine approved by the European Commission. This product comes in a 555ml bottle featuring an integrated application-nozzle and a practical scale for easy dosing. VarroMed® is a ready-to-use product based only on naturally occurring substances with a combination of two active ingredients–Formic acid and Oxalic acid dihydrate. It has received a 0-days withdrawal period and it is suitable for organic beekeeping. VarroMed® is indicated for treatment of Varroosis in honey bee colonies during spring, late summer, autumn and winter with and without brood.

The European Varroa treatment of choice is now licensed for use in the UK and is exclusively available from ourselves. In packs of 10 strips. Each pack will treat five hives, each strip is 210x40mm wide and therefore fit neatly between the frames without having to be cut or bent as with Apitraz strips. The active ingredient is Amitraz which paralyzes the varroa mite causing it to fall off the bees. One single application has efficacy up to 99% and there are no temperature constraints as there are with MAQS and other products. It can be used at any time of year (supers must not be on the hives). The strips are left in for between 6 and 10 weeks depending on the size of the brood.

Apiguard is a sophisticated, patented slow release gel that ensures correct dosage of its active ingredient, thymol. Thymol is a naturally occurring substance derived from the plant thyme.

Propolis Tincture Warning: The Isopropanol and resulting tincture is highly flammable so take necessary precautions - The product is for external use only and is not to be ingested. It is useful to source an old working electric coffee grinder from a car boot sale/ charity shop Put your propolis chunks in a plastic bag in your freezer Take a few chunks of propolis from the freezer and grind them immediately to a powder. Place the powder in a zip lock freezer bag and return it to the freezer. Grind more if necessary. Mix 1 part propolis by weight to 9 parts IPA (Isopropanol 99% pure) in a disposable glass bottle with a lid, swirling as it is added, then cap. Place the capped bottle in the dark on top of hot water tank in airing cupboard or on boiler - shake daily for 4 weeks. Much of the propolis will dissolve but the beeswax, bee legs, and wood shavings, etc. will not. Place filter paper in funnel and pour the slurry of propolis and alcohol through the funnel/filter into a sealable bottle The resulting clear dark fluid will be an approximate 10% saturated propolis tincture solution

Bee Quick is a non toxic blend of natural oils and herb extracts for clearing supers

THYMOL CRYSTALS - 30g Anti-fungicide for syrup feeds. Dissolve 30g contents with 150ml of methylated or surgical spirit. Add 2 teaspoons to 4.55 lt (1 gal) of syrup and stir well. If solution is kept tightly sealed will last indefinitely.

The use of icing sugar is becoming more and more accepted worldwide. We are now therefore offering this 1kg capacity air bellow operated duster. Simply fill the chamber with dry icing sugar, insert tube into hive through the floor and pump vigorously. Moving the bellows quickly from left to right and front to back. Continue for approximately 20 seconds. A card or sticky floor insert is a good idea as the varroa drop can be immediate.

Beetle Blaster is a plastic trap inserted between frames in a hive to trap Small Hive Beetles (SHB) and thereby protect healthy honeybee colonies. It also acts as a very effective sentinel device. The trap, 23 cm long and 3.5 cm deep, is designed to fit neatly between outer frames in a hive. Each Beetle Blaster can contain about 25ml of vegetable oil which acts as the trapping fluid.The holes in the top of Beetle Blaster are big enough to allow SHBs to enter, but cannot be accessed by honeybees.

ApiShield is an integrated trap to safeguard honeybee colonies from predation by hornets, wasps, wax moth and robber bees. Manufactured in pine wood. The trap completely replaces the traditional solid hive floor. When first installed under a hive, the side entrances should be blocked for at least 3 days with the supplied bars. This teaches the colony’s bees to enter only through the hive entrance, which they can protect. After three days bees from the colony have learned that their entrance is at the front only. When the bars are removed, the bees will not use the side entrances but predators will enter through these unprotected openings, attracted by the natural scent and sound of the colony. No bait is required. Cone entrances prevent the invaders from leaving the trap and they will die from dehydration.

Formulated for the complete bee and honey production environments including poly hives. This concentrated cleaner sanitiser is a powerful tried and tested bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal product. A brand new concept for beekeepers that will keep equipment, tools, hives and bee wear safe to use, hygienically clean and disease free. Safe to use on poly hives. Will not degrade, stain or damage any water washable surface. Only to be used for cleaning. Spore forming bacterium such as Nozema, Chalkbrood and American Foulbrood are all fungicidal diseases of honey bees. Streptococcus pluton is a bacterial infection that causes European Foulbrood in honey bees. When used at the correct concentration Hive wash is highly effective against moulds and yeasts. Typical pathogens such as E. Coli, Listeria, Campylobacter and Salmonella are eliminated when these concentrations are adhered to. Prevents cross contamination and the spread of disease.

Varroa EasyCheck is an labour-saving tool for beekeepers who want to monitor Varroa mite infestations in honey bee colonies. Transparent bowl allows easy counting of mites directly in the device Beekeepers simply collect 200 or 300 bees and shake them for 60 seconds in the EasyCheck shaker with a solution of alcohol or winter windshield washer fluid. Mites separate from the bees and fall to the bottom of the transparent bowl where they can be easily counted. The liquid may be reused.

The Bee Gym was developed on the principal that with just a little help, bees could be taught how to more effectively groom off the varroa mite. With its unique combination of specifically designed grooming aids, the Bee Gym encourages and enhances the natural behaviour of honeybees, assisting in the removal of varroa mites from the colony. The Bee Gym should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management approach to varroa control.

This clever and very successful system encompasses every aspect of the process, achieving the benefits of grafting without the difficulties One hundred brown cell cups are placed in the back of the comb box which has previously been fixed in a brood comb, and the queen is put in the front of the cage under a queen excluder. As she is in full lay, she continues to lay eggs in the artificial cups. She can be released manually the next day. On the 4th days, very small, newly hatched larvae can be seen through the transparent back and cups, each in a pin-prick of royal jelly. Very easily, each cell cup is lifted off with a cell cup cap which passes onto a cell bar fitted with cell bar blocks. When the queen cells are sealed, hair roller cages can be slipped over, so that emerging virgins are contained. These cages can then be used for travelling and introduction. Each kit contains: 1 plastic comb box, 10 hair roller cages, 100 brown cell cups, 10 cell bar blocks, 10 cell cup caps and full instructions.

This makes catching queens on the comb easy. The spring action closes the cage shut around the queen and the worker bees exit through the slots

This Marking Cage is a gentle way of holding queens for marking and examination. It consists of a plastic tube with mesh at one end and a soft, foam-padded plunger at the other. This allows the queen to be pushed gently up the tube on the foam until the thorax rests against the plastic mesh. In this way queens can be held safely without any damage..

This is a yellow plastic cage for carrying and introducing your queen to your colony.

Assemble the mini-nuc with a strip of foundation in each frame. Fill the feeder compartment with fondant or wetted sugar. Shake 2 cup full of young bees from super into the mini-nuc, and close-up, making sure that ventilation is clear. Leave for about an hour, until the bees roar in panic, then run a virgin queen in or place queen cell. Leave in a cool dark place for two or three days. Release the bees at the chosen site. Check in two weeks for signs of laying.
