If you’re starting your beekeeping career or are an expert, you know how quality bee accessories go a long way towards ensuring your safety and that of the bees. Again, using the right equipment gets you cleaner and more quality honey.
The best beekeeping equipment must be from a reputable company like VEVOR. The market has numerous options, but VEVOR comes through with some of the toughest and longest-serving beehive accessories.
Let’s look into numerous beekeeping supplies in this article. Watch out for more tips!
Selecting the right hive is crucial for the well-being of your bee colony. Several factors come into play when making this decision. Beginners mostly go for the Langstroth hive due to its user-friendly operation and maintenance. Its simplified design involves stacking hive boxes, offering convenience.
For those experienced in beekeeping, Pro beekeepers, Warre or Top-bar hives are preferred, as they align with the bees' natural comb-building behaviors. VEVOR Langstroth beehives further simplify the process with removable frames for hassle-free inspections and honey harvesting.
When choosing a beehive, consider factors like your beekeeping goals, climate, and location to ensure the best fit for your apiary's success.
Historically, wooden beehives have been favored for their insulation and customization capabilities. Pine and cedar are popular choices, boasting decay resistance and durability.
Innovations now introduce polystyrene beehives with exceptional insulation and easy cleaning, offering new possibilities for modern beekeeping.
Honey harvesting isn’t always scary as most people think. Think of it as a reward for caring for the bee colonies. There is minimal labor in honey harvesting as long as you have the right beekeeping accessories.
Honey extractors are among the most vital bee-keeping equipment for the whole process. They spin the honeycombs using centrifugal force to extract the honey without damaging them.
The bees will later re-use the honeycombs, promoting sustainable beekeeping practices.
Before placing honeycombs in the extractors, beekeepers must uncap the wax in the honey-containing cells. The safe practice ensures the bees can still use the cells after that, and the removed cappings are harvested to make wax products.
Electric capping knives are used in this process as precision is needed to retain honey quality and prevent comb damage.
Glass jars are the recommended storing beekeeping accessories. They are non-reactive and will maintain your honey’s natural flavor for long. Before bottling, use the VEVOR Bee Blanket to warm your honey for easy viscosity. Warm honey pours fast, but if you overheat it, the nutrients die.
Also, using a honey gate or dispenser will ensure a mess-free honey bottling operation.
