Queen Excluders / Koningin Uitsluiters / SeparatorsMetal excluders are used to keep the queen bee from being able to lay inside the super chamber where the honey is stored.The metal excluder is sold separately to the beehive and is very useful when it comes time to harvest honey.The queen will lay eggs only in the brood [broei] chamber if she cannot access the super [heuning] chamber above when a queen excluder is used to prevent the queen bee from getting through.The benefit of the excluder is that when it comes to harvesting honey from the super chamber there are no eggs or larvae in the honeycomb and ONLY ripe honey is ready for harvesting and filtering.We sometimes stock plastic excluders as well.

Treated with Waksol.The mainstay of a beekeeper’s equipment. You need bee hives to keep bees.There are many different ways of doing this, for example, using clay pots, logs, bark and so many more. The generally accepted beehive used conventionally is the Langstroth hive in South Africa. Preference is paramount again. There are a few parts that make a conventional hive: the base, the brood, the super, 10 frames in each, a queen excluder (not included) and finally the lid.Delivery or shipping is not included. If not collected from the shop in Centurion shipping will be applied.We have had to increase our prices on both types of beehives since we have not had increases for over 2 years! Costs as you can imagine have risen. We cannot hold the previous prices any longer!All of our beehives are treated with Waksol which is natural weather protection and also acts as a honeybee attractant when placed in direct sun.Within 2 -3 days in a bee-friendly area, you should have a new colony move into one of our beehives in the spring/summer season!

REMEMBER!The frames are all wired & have WAX STRIPS only!This does not include the queen excluder – SOLD SEPARATELYYou can expect to have foundation wax strips in both chambers, 10 frames per chamber. You can use creosote to treat your hives. You can also use Bitumen Silver Enamel paint. Or do both. Be sure to use the correct creosote as some do contain contaminants.We have opted for the Waksol treatment of our beehives. This means the beehives are dunked into a vat of melted beeswax and submerged for 3 minutes. The closest method to having a natural hive and the best as far as food-grade honey goes.Also, leave your hives to dry and air properly before transferring a colony into it.

Wax Foundation Sheets - BroodBeeswax foundation sheets for the brood frame only. {Cut to size if you want to use for super frames}We supply wax sheets for the brood frame of the langstroth beehives which are moulded with cell shapes. Yellow colour ONLY!If you have stock of beeswax from harvesting honey it is much more economical for you to use a flat pan with some baking paper to melt and spread the wax across the pan and make your own wax foundation sheets even without the moulded cells. Let’s face it – the bees know how to make the cells, they have been doing it for millions of years!The minimum order for wax brood sheets is 10!MOQ = 10 wax sheets for mail ordersWax Foundation Sheet Tips:Use the wax foundation sheets to guide the honeybees where they should build using the frame. Many beekeepers use the full foundation sheet in each brood frame. Personally, I prefer not to do so in the brood chamber as the wax comb needs to be serviced every 2-3 years anyway. Thus you loose the wax foundation each time you service the frame and remove the wax comb to allow the bees and especially the queen to lay in virgin wax comb.We prefer to use the brood sheet and cut it into wax strips and place these onto the brood frame. The size is not important for me however a rough guide is 2cm up to the first wire.Wax sheets require bubble wrap and newspaper packaging. The sheets weigh roughly 90g each however the volumetric weight is how the postal service charges this item.Sometimes the wax sheets are seldom available due to the season and low supply of beeswax.Customers ALSO Bought These:Spare Brood FramesLearn Beekeeping Onlinewww.startbeekeeping.co.za
