Beekeeping supplies

If the bees do not calm down at all or if it is an aggressive colony, you can find beekeeper hats with veils and wide distance brim in the bee accessories. This provides the necessary distance between the bees and your face and neck area. Via rubber loops on the sides of the veil that you pull under your armpits, you get a bee-tight finish. Beekeeper veils are also available in combination with beekeeper blouses. The long-sleeved protective suits are made of breathable materials such as cotton and simplify the work with the bee colonies. If you want to protect your hands from stings and honey residue, you can also find gloves in beekeeping supplies. Here is recommended solid material such as leather, through which the bees cannot pierce.

The hive chisel as a universal tool in beekeeping

A hive chisel is part of the beekeeping supplies for the regular control of the bee colonies. The versatile tool is used to detach the individual magazines of the hives from each other, because during prolonged use the bees cement small openings in the housing with plugging wax. Using the angled side of the stick chisel, you can also carefully lift the frames in the hive. Use the sharp sides to effortlessly scrape waxy residue from your bee boxes.

The bee broom to gently sweep away the animals

What used to be the goose wing is now the bee broom. Use it to gently sweep the bees from the comb as needed. This is necessary exactly when there are so many bees on the honeycomb that the cells under them remain hidden and hinder control or honey harvest. The bees that remain on the honeycomb despite careful shaking off are gently pushed aside with the sweeping broom. When choosing the right bee broom, it is important to use soft bristles so that the animals remain unharmed when touched.

The honey sling and strainer

Honey harvesting is one of the highlights of beekeeping, along with the work in nature. Professionals and amateur beekeepers can harvest the valuable natural product thanks to mobile and easy-to-use beekeeping accessories. All you need for quick and convenient harvesting are jars, a bee slingshot and sieves.

The bee extractor consists of a large body with a honeycomb basket, into which you insert the frames from the honey room. Remember to open the cells sealed with wax beforehand. After closing the spinner, rotate the basket by hand crank. The centrifugal forces created by the rapid rotation reliably eject the honey from the combs. This collects at the bottom of the slingshot. The honey then flows into the next container via a drain cock. Tip: In the expondo Inspirations you can find out, among other things, what honey production business is possible.
