Professional Cone Style Bee Escape for Efficient Honey Harvesting

As a leading wholesale supplier for commercial apiaries and beekeeping distributors, HONESTBEE is proud to present our durable and highly effective Cone Style Bee Escape. This essential tool is engineered to streamline the honey harvesting process, ensuring a calm, efficient, and bee-friendly experience. Our focus on quality materials and functional design makes this Bee Escape a reliable choice for any serious beekeeper.

Product Description and Design

This Bee Escape is meticulously crafted from high-quality, vibrant red plastic. The bright color makes it easily visible during hive management. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand repeated use and the varied conditions within a beehive, offering exceptional longevity.

The design is based on a simple yet highly effective one-way cone principle:

• Cone Shape: The tapered cone guides bees downwards and out of the honey super. The narrow exit point at the bottom makes it difficult for them to find their way back in.
• Wide Flange: A sturdy, 3.7 cm diameter flange provides a stable base for mounting.
• Flat-Edge Mounting: One side of the flange is flattened, allowing for a flush, secure fit against the wooden frame of an escape board.
• Attachment Guides: Small, pre-molded nubs on the flange serve as guides for staples or small nails, ensuring a quick and secure installation.

The smooth plastic finish is crucial, as it prevents any harm to the bees' delicate wings and bodies as they pass through.

Specifications and Dimensions

Understanding the precise dimensions is key for integration into your existing equipment.

• Overall Height: 3.0 cm
• Flange Diameter: 3.7 cm
• Inner Cone Opening (Top): 1.9 cm

These dimensions make our Bee Escape compatible with standard escape boards (also known as clearer boards) used in Langstroth and other hive types.

Key Features and Advantages

• Efficient Bee Removal: This Bee Escape provides a passive and stress-free method for clearing bees from honey supers. Within 24-48 hours, up to 95% of bees will have vacated the supers, leaving them ready for a peaceful harvest.
• Durable and Reusable: Made from strong, non-brittle plastic, this tool is an economical, long-term investment. It can be easily cleaned and reused for many seasons.
• Bee-Friendly Harvesting: Unlike chemical repellents or aggressive brushing/blowing, this method is gentle on the colony. It reduces bee stress, minimizes defensive behavior, and lowers the risk of injuring the queen.
• Easy to Install and Use: The intelligent design with its flat edge and mounting guides allows for rapid installation on any escape board. Typically, 8-10 escapes are installed on a single board for optimal clearing speed.

Application and Usage

The Cone Style Bee Escape is designed to be used with an escape board. The process is straightforward:

1. Installation: Secure multiple Bee Escapes onto a board, ensuring the narrow end of the cone points downwards, away from the honey supers.
2. Placement: 24 to 48 hours before harvesting, place the completed escape board between the honey supers you wish to harvest and the brood boxes below.
3. Clearing: The bees in the honey supers will naturally move down through the cones to rejoin the main cluster in the brood chamber but will be unable to re-enter the supers.
4. Harvesting: Remove the now nearly empty and bee-free honey supers with minimal disturbance to the hive.

This tool is indispensable for any operation looking to improve harvest efficiency and maintain calm, healthy colonies.
