Bee Harvester Kit

This bee harvester kit makes it super easy to add more bees to the SpyHive™ if required.

Simply shake some bees into a larger general bucket then tip them into the mesh harvester basket. Clip the funnel on and secure with the lock mechanism. Ensure that the black plug is fitted. Spray the bees with vanilla essence (through the mesh) to calm them and mask the pheromones. Transport them to the SpyHive™ and spray them again with vanilla essence before releasing into the SpyHive™ through the hole in top cover over the pollen pattie compartment.

NB. Vanilla essence diluted 1:3 with water can be used to shield the scent of the bees to stop fighting when introduced to another colony.
