The Hive World Duoline Hot Wax Sprayer from Viseco in Germany is a simple and efficient way to spray your own plastic frames with beeswax.  You will achieve an even coating of the quantity you desire with minimal overspray.

With beeswax becoming more valuable you not only save on the time taken to coat your foundation but will also save on wax used.  There is a great advantage in knowing where the wax came from that is used on your frames. Electronic controls enable you to regulate bowl and nozzle temperature. No need to clean out the gun on completion of job as the wax is re-melted each time it is turned on. All that is required is a supply of clean wax and a small air compressor.  It is recommended to set aside an area to do your spraying in to contain any overspray.

Hot wax spraying is useful with many other applications in which solvent-free media are to be liquefied -

• refining wooden surfaces on furniture and parquet finishing
• corrosion protection in metal spinning
• improving and designing candles and wax sculptures
• professional ski servicing
• impregnating packing materials

Advantages are improved surface refinement, simplicity of operation, gentle heating up of the material and small consumption of air pressure.

Paraffin wax dipper by Hiveworld NZ  The Paraffin wax dipping tank has been designed to make this essential but previously dangerous job safe and simple:

• No need to put your hands anywhere near the hot wax while working.
• The sides are insulated for efficient heating and for protection against accidental burns.
• There is a temperature gauge fitted so you can ensure the correct temperature is maintained and not exceeded.
• Fitted with an overflow pipe in case of boilover.

It has two lids with clamps to hold your boxes so while two are being dipped, the others can be draining and then painted while still hot to let the paint be absorbed into the timber.  (If the waxed box dries the paint won't stick).

With this model  one person can easily dip and paint up to 250 boxes a day. Customer comment -

I can leave my young worker dipping and painting by himself knowing he will not burn himself or the building down.

Included are two x 4-ring gas burners to heat the wax, however you will need to supply the gas bottles.

Please Note:  If you allow the dipper to cool off with the lids down you will need to warm the tank to melt the paraffin so you are able to raise the lids again as the wax will have solidified around them.

The Sublimox APF-Plus is an oxalic acid sublimator, otherwise known as an oxalic acid vaporiser.  This is the professional way to treat varroa with oxalic acid as it is so fast and easy to use.  In the past, oxalic treatment methods have been too tedious and time-consuming which has limited its viability for commercial operators.

The Sublimox APF-Plus overcomes this problem with a treatment time of 25 seconds per hive and easy replacement of caps with reliable temperature control to ensure constant readiness.  This means you can go through your apiary, treating the hives without interruption.

As varroa becomes more resistant to common treatments in current usage, more beekeepers are turning to proven organic treatments such as oxalic acid that don't lose their effectiveness over time.

This device is built to CE standards and has a 12 month warranty.  It has been tested and used by hundreds of beekeepers worldwide.

As the unit only draws 300 watts, it can be run off a small inverter (available from Repco or Supercheap) otherwise a small inverter generator can be used.  Comes with complete instructions for use.

Testimonial:  "Probably the best sublimator in the world ... in terms of speed, convenience and ease of use I'd argue that the Sublimox is hard to beat."  The Apiarist, U.K.

Testimonial:  "Used the Sublimox this weekend, so easy to use we should of got these years ago".  B.I.  NZ Beekeeper

Hive World's sturdy Manual Two Frame Extractor is perfect for the hobbyist who wants an efficient way to harvest their honey.

Hive World's Electric 4-frame extractor makes your extracting a breeze.  Ideal for hobbyists, this economical model costs little more than a manual model and will do your work with very little effort on your part.

This model comes complete with honey gate for easy emptying.   As an added safety measure the lids have switches that cut out when opened.  All stainless steel construction means this extractor is hygienic and easy to clean.  The latest model has longer legs to enable a pail to be placed conveniently under the honey gate.  Comes with a spare coupling.
