A marvel of engineering!

The queen breeding “machine” is here to boost efficiency and productivity. One batch of eight mated queens can pay for the initial investment. With a design life of 30 years, the Q8 is an excellent investment and a great profit winner for any queen breeder.

The Q8 is comprised of 8 independent chambers ready to receive a mature queen cell on a Tri-fold frame. These chambers are incorporated in a full depth brood box. Manufactured from twin-wall food grade polypropylene with 15mm EPS insulation fitted. The Q8 is supplied as a complete kit and is fully assembled with a vented floor, latches and roof.

The unique full depth Tri-fold frame unfolds to a standard size Langstroth frame. Provision is made for 2 wires to secure the comb foundation in each of the 3 sections. When the comb is drawn and is full of brood and supplies, the frame can be removed from the hive with all the bees attached, unclicked and folded to make 3 small frames, then transferred to one compartment of the Q8 nucleus hive for mating queens or raising new colonies. The common procedure is to insert a queen cell that is ready to emerge into each chamber.

Plastic foundation can also be used. Cut to size and attach it to the frame with the stainless steel screws that come with the Q8. We can supply sets of 24 panels already pre-cut, shaped and drilled. See below.

Three 3mm removable dividers on each side allow you to choose how many frames you want in each hive space. Easy to overwinter mated queens and supply your nucs in early spring. Some areas will be OK with just 2 frames together over winter (four hives per Q8), others will need 4 (two hives per Q8). Even with all the dividers installed, the bees share each others warmth to increase efficiencies.

There are 8 independent top feeders for solid and liquid feed supplements. They incorporate a vent to prevent condensation and all fit neatly inside the vented roof. Each feeder can hold up to 400ml of syrup plus a protein supplement.

Separate entrances with colored landing boards are used to avoid drifting between each chamber. Plastic queen excluders are included, and can be fitted to the entry to prevent accidental contact with other mated queens. Stainless ones available here

Flip-up the landing boards (locking position) to lock the bees in for safe transportation.

The Technosetbee package includes:

• Vented floor,
• FD brood box with all the internal dividers
• 7 side entries and two floor entries. (One front chamber has two entries)
• 7 queen excluders 
• 8 Tri-fold frames
• 8 Dual feeders
• Vented roof.
• 2 pairs of connector latches

For efficient Varroa Mite control in beehives when using Oxalic Acid for treatment.

Check out our Blog Post on Brood Breaks in Hives

For full depth brood boxes. 

Oxalic acid treatments do not usually kill the mites that are inside capped brood cells. There is now a very efficient and effective solution!

Lock the queen in this cage to create a brood break period. Treat the hive with Oxalic Acid while there is no capped brood and achieve a very high Varroa kill rate.

See Data Sheet of testing done on this

Oxalic acid can be applied by vaporization, fogging or by the dribble method.

Check this link for more info:-

http://scientificbeekeeping.com/oxalic-acid-questions-answers-and-more-questions-part-1-of-2-parts/

Due to its large size the bees don't feel queenless and are less likely to build queen cells. It has queen excluder sides so that nurse bees can still enter the cage and care for the queen.

There is a large opening under the top cap to release the bees when required. Only 25mm wide at the top and will fit in a standard brood box along with 10 frames with 33mm end bars. The main body of the frame is only 16mm wide so as not to interfere with brood emerging alongside.

The bottom edge is curved on the full depth cage to match the typical shape of the winter cluster.

There are many other applications.

In warmer locations, the queen can be locked up over winter to stop her laying eggs to conserve stores and to stop the Varroa mites from breeding.

Can also be used to bank an extra queen over winter when running 2 queen colonies and the bees are already familiar with 2 queens in the hive.

We recommend that clients add a small piece of wood as shown, if using the cage over winter. The wood is naturally the warmest material for the queen to rest on, while being surrounded by nurse bees.

The suggested wood dimensions as shown, are 20mm x 10mm x 110mm long.
(Tip: - The bottom bar on a beehive frame is often 20mm x 10mm section.)
Wood at 10mm thick is a firm fit, but we still recommend that one or 2 screws are fitted to keep it secure and in the best place. The top cap unclips to allow easy access for the strip of wood.

The top bar is 480mm long. Cage height is 228mm for full depth brood boxes and 175mm high for 3/4 depth.

Top quality product made in Europe from food grade polypropylene.

3 Litre top feeder tray with float to stop bees drowning.

Works on any hive and could also serve as a small water feeder outside the hive.

If placed on top of the brood frames, an empty super or a wooden rim (minimum of 60mm high) will be required.

366 x 270 x 55mm high

Propolis Mat and huge 14 litre Feeder Combo with kitset rim included.

Made to slot straight on your own conventional 10 frame hive, this feeder will feed your hive for weeks. The propolis collected on the propolis mat provides a great source of extra income and also closes up any gaps around the edge of the feeder.

With central chimney cap feeding cover, as well as feeding chambers at each end of feeder. This allows the bees to drain the feeder no matter what angle the hive is on.

The feeder incorporates some large cavities to hold pollen patties to feed to bees if required.

The kitset rim is made from budget grade NZ Pine and will need to be assembled and placed over the feeder to make it suit your standard hive mat and galvanised lid.

Beequip can assemble and dip the rim in hot microcrystalline wax for preservation if required. Contact direct for pricing.

The boxes are Flat Packed and Untreated.

NZ Pine timber. 

These boxes are mostly Standard Grade however there there is the odd knot or pith close to a edge on some pieces. Sometimes the heights can be a few mm out compared to the other pieces but overall still perfectly good boxes 

This Bee Escape board is an excellent way to clear out the honey super before the harvest. Place the board between the brood chamber and honey super. Allow up to 24 hours for bees to vacate and then remove.

Ensure the worker bees have some empty space to move into.

This escape board is designed for Technoset Supers but can be used on standard wooden supers if 2 plastic lugs are removed on the top surface, on one side. (An angle grinder will skim them off in a few seconds) See the photo with dimensions on it.

Features:

- Two valves with 4 outlets in each for increased performance and safety.

- Very unlikely to block.

- Very sturdy long-life construction.

- Weight:1.39 Kg

It fits neatly inside the Technosetbee roof and takes no extra space. A lot of beekeepers around the world leave this top feeder on the beehive all year round. It doubles up as a hive mat and allows damp air to exit up through the vents and out the roof vents.

The smaller compartment (under white cover) is for feeding dry pollen patties or fondant. It has 2.3 litres of space.

The larger area is for feeding syrup and holds up to 3.5 litres if level. The bees have a 7mm passage under the blue vent covers (as shown in the photo) to take the syrup without drowning.To refill the feeder, simply lift the roof and top up without any disturbance to the bees. Alternatively, a feeder valve can be fitted to the roof to avoid even lifting the roof when topping up the syrup.
