  • 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.

    Hive World’s Uncapping Roller is the fastest way to prepare your frames for extracting.
    The uncapping roller rolls easily over capped frames to pierce the cells.
    This reduces the amount of wax removed when extracting as it doesn’t destroy the comb foundation.

    If you are extracting manuka honey, it is necessary to prick the comb with a roller as this agitates the honey which aids extraction.

  • Electric 4-frame extractor

    $747.83

    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.

    The variable speed motor means you can start gently and gradually increase the speed to avoid damaging the foundation.   The tangential extraction method is especially suited to manuka honey as it empties the frames more efficiently.  By pricking your comb before extracting, you will be able to draw the honey out gently and use the comb more than once.

    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.
