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.

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. Beetle Blaster: Small Hive Beetle traps x2 | £3.00 |
 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. APISHIELD Hornet & Wasp Trap | £48.75 | | Queen Management |
 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. Cupkit system | £37.00 |
