Hive World’s American style Stainless Steel Hive Tool is a good rugged tool that will take you anywhere you need to go in the hive.  A nice shape to work the supers apart when they have been propolised together with a smooth curve to push against as a lever and sharp blade to do the trick at the opening edge.

Hive World’s bee brushes have soft natural fibre bristles that are gentle enough for brushing bees off frames , supers and clothes without harming or crushing them.  A sturdy, all purpose brush that is a must-have when inspecting your hives or clearing the frames ready for harvesting.

Charme des Abeilles Aerosol Bee Charm Swarm Attractant  is an easy way to help attract swarms to your hive.

This highly perfumed spray is almost entirely made from the essences of strongly scented flowers which are known to attract bees.

Lightly spray the entrance and inside the bait hive to attract swarms.  Repeat every 8 days.  It works best when you prepare the hive with bee products as well by rubbing the inside with propolis and spraying with honey water or wax to provide a familiar scent to the swarm.  Charme des Abeilles adds the scent of attractive flowers to complete the welcome.

Your bait hive should be facing the east for sunlight and sheltered from the wind.  It is wise to have the hive slightly tilted forward to ensure it is well drained inside.

Beekeeper Tip:  It is advisable to have your bait hive set high on a stable base and ensure the inside temperature does not get too hot.

For long life store your aerosol in a cool place.
