Now we come to the real point of beekeeping - when you reap the rewards of the girls hard work.

Hive World carries a range of equipment to make this job simpler and less messy.

For the Hobbyist:

  • Our useful uncapping tray holds the frame at an easy angle to allow the honey to drain into the large capacity tank.
  • Slice the cappings off with either our electric or serrated uncapping knife.
  • Otherwise you can prick the comb with our uncapping roller (the best way with manuka) or use a capping scratcher.  This handy tool is also useful for checking brood health.
  • The latest aid is the turbo-pro uncapper.  This nifty tool tidily removes the cappings with the minimum of waste but the maximum of efficiency.

For the small Commercial Operator:

  • 20 frame uncapping tank with an optional vertical electric uncapper

We have several different options in stock to take the effort out of extracting:

  • Electric Extractor -  4-frame tangential and 8-frame cassette (self-turning)
  • 4-Frame Electric extractor complete with uncapping tank
  • Manual Extractors - a 2-frame and a 4-frame model

After extracting:

  •  A strainer is essential for removing bee bits and wax from your honey.
  • The nylon cappings strainer is useful for purifying the wax when melted as well as getting the dregs  of honey out of your wax cappings.  It is easy to hook this useful aid into your extractor and give it a whirl to speed the process up.
  • 20L Pails with lid and honey gate are perfect for storing honey.
  • Stainless Steel Honey Storage (settling) tanks with strainer and stainless steel honey gate from 50kg to 225kg manufactured by Civan in Turkey.
  • We stock nylon and stainless steel Honey Gates as well as the Original Robinet  Perfection honey gate from Thomas Apiculture in France which gives a very clean cut off with no drips.
After extraction you may like to cream your honey to prevent it crystallizing.  We supply 75kg creamers from Civan in Turkey to do this task effortlessly for you.

  • Nylon cappings strainer bag

    $15.65

    This handy nylon cappings strainer bag allows you to extract the last of the honey from your cappings without any unwanted bits.  An economical method of avoiding waste – very easy to use.  Generous sizing (50 cm deep x 34 cm wide) fits plenty of cappings in each time you use it.

  • Pail perch

    $9.39

    Stainless Steel Pail perch can hold pails up to 20 L capacity.

    An easy, clean way of emptying your honey pails:  enables you  to leave your pails to drain while you are occupied with other tasks.  Securely holds your pail while it drains into your storage containers.

  • Perfection Honey Gate

    $66.87

    Perfection Honey gate manufactured in France by Thomas Apiculture.  Available in three sizes:  32mm, 40 mm, 50 mm.

    The Perfection Honey Gate used worldwide is a model of French ingenuity and efficiency.  Developed by Thomas Apiculture’s own design team, its unique “drip-cutter” principle allows clean accurate honey filling.  The elbow on the outlet pipe slows down the stream of honey to allow greater control.   The improved leak-proof adjustable spring-loaded cut-off valve will outlast any other gate’s performance.  It cuts off the honey flow cleanly, making jar filling an easy job.  Equipped with an ergonomic handle for easier control of the honey flow.  The 32 and 40mm gates come with seal and nut to fit any extractor, pail or honey tank.  The 50mm is designed to use in your large drum and therefore doesn’t require seal and nut.

    This is the ORIGINAL Perfection Honey-gate manufactured in France:   Don’t be tempted by vastly inferior copies.

    $6.10

    Hive World’s Plastic Handle Capping Scratcher is a durable tool with a molded plastic handle to comfortably fit your hand.  The metal tines easily scratch away the honey cells ready for extracting.  Ideal for using with manuka honey as the action of the tines helps liquefy the thick honey to help it to flow easier.

    This tool is also useful for checking for varroa in your drone brood by pushing into the capped cells and lifting out the white larvae – easy to see any mites.
