- holding frames while you inspect your hives or when redistributing between hives.
- as a swarmcatcher - Bait the box with swarm lure such as Charme des Abeilles https://www.hiveworld.co.nz/product/bee-charm-swarm-attractant-2/ as well as some spare comb for best results.

The Hive World Uncapping Tray comes as a complete unit which includes a large capacity plastic tank with honey gate for drainage, a stainless steel drip tray to hold the cappings and a stand to hold your frames while you are uncapping them.
This useful unit can hold 10 frames inside while draining and has a lid to keep the honey clean and the bees out. Alternatively, you can leave your cappings draining knowing they are safely covered. Fitted with small wheels to aid manouevrability.
Tank size 740 x 353 x 330 high
The Hive World Stainless Steel Wax Press is a traditional, economic way to get the last of your honey from your cappings. Hygienic construction and easy to clean.
This useful press can also be used for making cider, fruit juice and other applications.
Hive World's Full Depth Plastic Foundation Insert fits neatly into Grooved Timber Frames.
Available in Full depth or 3/4 Depth, choose from plain or pre-waxed. Sold in packs of 10.
Plastic foundation needs to be waxed to encourage the bees to draw out the comb. This is an economical way of providing for your hives as beeswax foundation is becoming an increasingly costly option. Plastic is more robust than wax foundation therefore it can handle the extraction process repeatedly.
