Now in its 3rd edition, The Australian Beekeeping Manual has been updated to include the latest developments in pest and disease management, with specific reference to Flow Hives and Varroa.

The Australian Beekeeping Manual is the most comprehensive reference for both novice and experienced beekeepers in Australia.

The accessible yet detailed text, supported by over 350 full-colour photographs and illustrations, covers all the key areas, from the beekeeping equipment needed and how to obtain bees to the basics of colony management, pests and diseases, native bees, and rearing queens.

An invaluable beekeeping resource that will be referred to time and time again, and which can be taken out to the hive for use as an immediate step-by-step guide or read at leisure.

A standout reference for the new beekeeper; even experienced beekeepers will learn a thing or two...contains a wealth of information and great value.

Hard Cover, 350 pages, A4, Full Colour

Effective - Safe:

• Twice the contact area of 2 strip treatments (4 strips/brood chamber)
• Kind to beeswax, propolis & comb honey
• Very gentle on Queen Bees & Nucs
• Up to 5-year expiry date

Can currently only be purchased in NSW and ACT

Packaging:
20 strips per packets (containing 4 strips per sealed foil).

How to use:
Just bend back the two tabs and hook the strips over the top edge of the wooden frame. A single treatment of the bee colonies is sufficient. Strips should not be re-used.

Due to the specially designed tabs, the strips are suspended in such a way that the bees can easily crawl on both sides. Bayvarol Strips are suspended into the spaces between the combs in the central brood rearing area (i.e. not in the honey supers). Developed colonies receive four strips per brood chamber.

CAUTION:

• Do not suspend strips in honey supers.
• Suspend strips between combs in the central brood rearing area (e.g. between frames 3 and 4, and 7 and 8 in ten frame hives).
• Do not apply more frequently than every 6 – 8 weeks.
• Any honey extracted from the brood box must be tested for residues prior to sale for human consumption.

Safety Directions:

• Precautions: Avoid contact with skin.
• Mixing or Using: When opening the container, preparing the product for use and using the product, wear gauntlet length chemical resistant gloves.
• After use: Wash hands after use.

First Aid Instructions: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 13 11 26.

Re-entry/Rehandling Statement: The use of gauntlet-length chemical resistant gloves is recommended any time the miticide strips are handled, including on removal of the strips from the beehives.

Useful Information:
Bayvarol Strips are to be used at that time the mite population has not yet reached critical proportions and the bee colony hasn't yet suffered any obvious damage. Ideally the strips should not be used during peak honey flow periods. However, Bayvarol can be used at any time of the year for diagnosis or in severe infestations where there is a threat to the survival of the colony.

If emergency treatment for an infestation is necessary while honey supers are present, comb honey should not be sold.  For Beekeepers who collect honey for long periods of time, mite levels must be monitored and treatments may have to be administered between periods of honey collection.

The specific mite activity on Bayvarol Strips ensures that the honey bees are reliably cleared of Varroa infection with an extremely low dose: One strip contains only 3.6mg active substance.

NOTE: No Exchange No Refund. Please select with care.

Beekeepers are very busy people. In addition to normal hive management, you now must deal with extra surveillance activities because of the Varroa mite incursion, and the threat of other pests and disease. These legislative demands can be overwhelming; however, Tocal College has produced a simple way to fulfil these obligations. The answer is the Beekeeping Record Book. Moreover, keeping these completed entries for five years covers your requirements under the Biosecurity Act 2016.This easy-to-use book is set up so that you can record exactly what is required by legislation in the spaces on 12 sets of pages.

The record templates cover

• Apiary record
• Inspection for pest and disease
• Honey sampling for American Foulbrood
• Monitoring for mites
• Varroa mite sampling and treatment plan
• Varroa mite treatment actions
• Details of management actions
• Details of introduction of bees and used equipment
• Hive / Apiary / Load movement
• Training records

It also includes a brief guide to identifying the pests that you need to note.

Mesh/vented bottom board including Beetle Baffle^TM - reduce SHB and varroa loading.

• The Beetle Baffle^TM takes advantage of natural mite fall.
• The Beetle Baffle^TM makes it difficult for beetles to climb up in to the brood.
• It is estimated that 20% of phoretic mites fall off the bee in their first 72 hours.
• With mesh or vented bottom boards, mites that fall off the bees fall out of the hive through the mesh following which they can climb back up from the floor and reattach themselves to bees.
• The Beetle Baffle^TM is particularly beneficial when mite treatments cannot be applied e.g. long summer honey flows.
• Reduced mite loadings lead to healthier hives, colonies under less mite stress, and reduced hive losses.

The Best Bottom Board for your 10-Frame Wood Hive, the Apimaye Type-G bottom boards are designed specifically for the Australian market to be compatible with 10-Frame wooden hives be they Full Depth, WSP, Manley or Ideal.

Just like bottom boards for the famous Apimaye Hive, these Type-G bottom boards are multifunction being equipped with a Pest Drawer so Varroa, SHB and Wax Moth/Grubs that fall through the base on to the Pest Drawer are stuck in the drawer and cannot return to the hive when the Pest Tray is used with a sticky mat or is coated with a light film of canola oil or vaseline (petroleum jelly).

All our bottom boards can be used safely in all climate conditions. The unique grill design enables ventilation in extremely hot weather, while helping remove moisture from the bee hive at the very cold temperatures. Balancing the moisture inside the hive results in maturing the honey sooner, thus increasing the hive productivity.

As the bottom boards are equipped with a bottom a drawer, you can have a better understanding of your hive through checking the drawer. 

The pollen traps on the bottom boards are specially designed to prevent bee injuries while collecting the pollen. A built in pollen tray enables collecting the pollen hygienically.

The bee hive entrance holes can be opened or closed very easily. The entrance can also be width-adjusted based on the climate.

The air channels built into the board prevents bee losses during transportation.

The boards are built tough against impacts and are durable.

They are easy to clean,

And they are compatible with your hive!

Beewise UltraPro™ Bee Feed's complex formulation provides bees the protein necessary to build a vibrant healthy hive, containing the essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins and fats in a well balanced free-flowing micronised product. 
Being micronised the particle size and surface area of Beewise UltraPro™ is consistent with that of quality pollen, thus ensuring it is readily ingested and digested.

UltraPro's™ demonstrated high uptake is in part due to the presence of premium quality irradiated West Australian pollen.  Bee suppliments without high protein pollen are of less benefit to a hive's general health and vitality.

UltraPro™ Bee Feed can be used dry or as a pattie using 1kg UltraPro™ Bee Feed with approx 1 litre of Beewise ProSweet™ (or 1 litre of syrup 2 sugar : 1 water).

Made from Australian ingredients; we know exactly what it contains and that it's safe for your bees.
