HONESTBEE, your dedicated wholesale partner for premium beekeeping equipment, presents our robust Wooden Bee Escape Board, featuring highly efficient 4-Way Metal Corner Escapes. This harvesting tool is expertly designed for commercial beekeepers and bee equipment distributors seeking durability, functionality, and a professional solution for clearing bees from honey supers.
Professional Appearance and Durable Construction
This bee escape board is built to last, combining traditional wooden craftsmanship with effective metal escape mechanisms for reliable performance.
- Materials:
- Frame: Constructed from high-quality, smooth-finished timber (pine or fir), forming a sturdy outer rim with well-joined corners for structural integrity.
- Board Panel: A solid, flat panel of quality plywood is securely fitted within the wooden rim, providing a stable base for the escape mechanisms.
- Escape Mechanisms: Four durable, galvanized steel escape units are strategically positioned in each corner.
- Design & Functionality:
- Top Surface (Facing Honey Supers): This side features a clean plywood surface with four round, precisely cut entry holes, one near each corner, allowing bees to enter the escape mechanism from above.
- Bottom Surface (Facing Brood Chamber): Securely mounted to this underside, beneath each entry hole, is a metal escape unit. These units are typically wedge-shaped or triangular, featuring:
- A wider, perforated entry area (aligning with the hole on the top surface) that funnels bees.
- A narrow, one-way exit slot or channel that allows bees to pass downwards into the brood chamber but makes it extremely difficult for them to re-enter the honey supers.
- The metal escapes are firmly attached to the plywood panel with screws or rivets.
- Overall Build: The board showcases a professional aesthetic with its natural wood finish and neatly integrated metal components. It's designed for repeated use in demanding apiary conditions.
Dimensions and Sizing Options
To cater to the most common hive setups, the HONESTBEE Wooden Bee Escape Board is available in two standard sizes:
- 10-Frame Langstroth Size: Designed to fit standard 10-frame Langstroth hive bodies and supers (approx. 505mm x 413mm or 19 7/8" x 16 1/4").
- 8-Frame Langstroth Size: Designed to fit standard 8-frame Langstroth hive bodies and supers (approx. 505mm x 355mm or 19 7/8" x 14").
Please specify your required size when placing your order.
Key Features and Functionality
This harvesting tool is engineered for optimal bee removal with minimal disruption:
- 4-Way Corner Escape System: With escape units in all four corners, bees have multiple exit points, leading to faster and more efficient clearing of honey supers.
- Effective One-Way Passage: Bees enter through the top holes and are guided through the metal funnels, exiting below. The design prevents re-entry, ensuring supers are largely bee-free for harvest.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: The combination of quality wood and robust metal escapes ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear.
- Easy to Use: Place the board between the honey supers to be harvested and the brood chamber 24-48 hours before collection.
- Gentle on Bees: This passive method of bee removal is less stressful for the colony compared to brushing or blowing.
- Reusable and Reliable: A dependable tool that can be used season after season.
Advantages for Your Business
Incorporating the HONESTBEE Wooden Bee Escape Board into your operations offers significant benefits:
- Increased Harvesting Efficiency: Speeds up the process of preparing honey supers for extraction by effectively clearing bees.
- Reduced Labor: Minimizes the manual effort required for bee removal.
- Calmer Hives During Harvest: Less disruption leads to less defensive bee behavior, making harvesting safer and more pleasant.
- Potential for Cleaner Honey: Fewer agitated bees in the supers mean less chance of debris or broken cappings in the honey.
- Cost-Effective Investment: A durable tool that provides excellent return through repeated use and labor savings.
