  Queen grids for the hive

  A queen grid, also called a nut grid, is a grid through which the queen cannot pass. This allows you to manage the hive. For example, you can use it to prevent a queen from going to the honey chamber. This prevents the queen from laying eggs in the honey chamber and allows you to remove the honey from the hive. [category id=11]harvest[/category]. But you can, by using a queen grid, allow the queen to remain forcibly in a certain part of the hive. For example, if you want to remove the lower brood box for cleaning or to apply comb renewal, a queen grid can be used. This way you make sure the queen stays in the upper brood box. Usually you can encourage her to go up by blowing smoke with a [category id=2]beroker[/category] in the fly opening. You can then place the queen grid on the bottom tray. After this, put the upper container back on. If all goes well, this will prevent the queen from getting into a lower tray. After a few days, check to see if there are eggs in the lower tray. If not, the queen is above the grid, in the upper brood box. If all the brood has hatched in the lower tray, you can remove it and/or replace the combs.

  Bottom mesh

  Make your own hive? Nice, but you often don't have certain parts like varroa bottom mesh. The Imkershop has this bottom mesh in two qualities: stainless steel (we recommend this mesh if working with acids in the hive) and galvanized bottom mesh. Apart from dropping varroa mites through bottom of the hive and measuring infection, it is also an ideal ventilation for on the stand or while traveling with the bees. The mesh can also be used for making separators.

  Fly-hole slide and fly-hole strips

  A fly-hole slide is a strip that allows easy closure of the hive. Fly-hole sliders are particularly useful for six-window hives or beekeepers who travel a lot with their hives, for example. Just close the fly-hole slide and the hive is ready for bee transport.

  Paint for the hive

  Painting the hive is important for the longevity of the hive for the hive. The paint coating provides protection, for both the wooden and plastic hive. We can divide the surfaces of the hive into several parts, namely: the outside of a wooden hive, the outside of the plastic hive, and the inside of both a wooden and plastic hive. In practice, the inside of a plastic hive is never painted. Of the plastic hive, only the outer sides are painted. For painting the inside of the plastic feeder, a special feeder lacquer (Biosana lacquer) can be used. When painting wooden hives, it is very important to include the ends well against watering in during rain. Also, the inside of a wooden hive is not treated with paint but you can treat it with Propoleum, for example. You paint a hive to make it last longer and protect it from the weather. An unpainted wooden hive will quickly deform or warp under the influence of moisture, and a plastic hive will weather over time under the influence of UV light.
