Bottling is a tricky business -
- getting the jars in just the right position for the flow from your honey pail or other storage container.
- Never turn your back at the wrong moment or you will have one major sticky mess to deal with!
- It is necessary to ensure your honey is at a correct temperature to flow when bottling - this is where a honey warming tank comes in handy.
We supply a variety of honey gates to suit all tastes (including the best - the genuine Perfection style made by Thomas in France, available in 3 sizes).
70L Heated Honey Tank

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.

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.
