  • 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.

  • Section Divider

    $40.87

    Hive World sells these 4 section size Plastic Section Dividers in packs of 8 to place between each row of sections in your section rack.  This prevents bees making brace comb and ensures an attractive level capping for each comb section.

    Suitable for Langstroth as well as Dadant, National and WBC racks.

    These dividers are easy to clean and have no sharp corners.  Most importantly they are “warmer” for the bees.

    Manufactured in 1mm polystyrene.

    Priced per 8 dividers.

  • Section Rack complete

    $182.61

    Hive World supplies a complete comb honey package for you including the wooden section rack with support base and spring clips and 28 wooden comb sections (for you to assemble) with thin wax foundation squares to enclose and cardboard cases for the finished product.  Also included are 8 x plastic dividers to keep your comb nice and clean.

    This is the premium way of producing comb honey with the traditional wooden frames.  For best results put the sections on in the peak honey flow so the bees build quickly.

    Do be aware of the danger of tutin poisoning if you are wanting to do this north of Kaikoura and in the North Island – best to avoid comb honey production from January through to July if you are in a tutin risk area.  Look up the MPI Compliance Guide for the food standard for more information –  https://www.mpi.govt.nz/dmsdocument/20489/send
