Hive World’s 70 litre Honey Tank with heater is a great way to warm your honey gently ready for bottling.  This tank is also useful for separating wax cappings from honey. Also can be used for soap making.

Thermostatically controlled water jacket ensures your honey is not overheated.

This tank can be turned into a creamer/mixer by adding the mixer kit https://www.hiveworld.co.nz/product/honey-mixer-creamer-adjustable-to-suit-a-range-of-tank-sizes/   

Apibox Maxi is an easy-to-use system for preparing honeycomb for sale.  It uses a 35mm wide basswood frame (wide enough to hold two rows of containers), and special PET food grade recyclable plastic boxes that fit neatly in your super either with your regular frames or as a whole super load.

When the boxes are filled out all you need to do is simply close the lid on each packet and you have 24 attractively presented packs of comb honey for sale.  The sections hold up to 125g of comb honey in each.  We also supply the replacement packs of 24 boxes to use in your frame next time.

The usual precautions for producing comb honey remain:

• Do not harvest comb after the end of December in tutin areas.
• Always ensure the honey is tested before sale.
• To produce the best quality comb honey you must insert your boxes right at the peak of the honey flow so the bees fill out the comb quickly.
