Beekeeping equipment

10-Frame Queen Excluder

$20

Designed to keep the queen confined to the brood chambers while allowing worker bees to move freely into the honey supers above. This prevents the queen from laying eggs in honey supers, allowing workers to use the available comb for nectar storage and honey production.

Wooden winter quilt box for a beehive with screened ventilation openings
Beekeeping equipment

Winter Quilt Box

$32

A wet bee is a dead bee. Moisture buildup can be just as dangerous to a wintering colony as the cold itself. Place a quilt box on top of your hive in the fall and fill it with dry pine shavings to help absorb excess moisture and reduce condensation dripping onto your bees. Keep your colony dry, healthy, and better prepared to survive the winter.

4 × 7 Smoker
Beekeeping equipment

4 × 7 Smoker
