The Harp kit 80 cm - stainless steel (RVS/INOX) is a complete set to assemble a stainless steel harp for the effective control of the Asian hornet. The sturdy RVS/INOX construction provides durable, reliable protection for your beehives. Bees can safely fly through the wires, while hornets are trapped and neutralized. The harp requires a shock unit (sold separately) to operate, and when using multiple harps a connection cable can be useful to connect them together. Ideal for beekeepers who want to protect their bee colonies from this invasive species.

Note: harp only, without water tray.

The Harp kit 80 cm - RVS/INOX is a complete set to assemble a stainless steel harp for the effective control of the Asian hornet. What makes this harp special is that it is fitted with a tube on the underside. This allows many other insects to exit, and you can mount a jerrycan or bottle onto it. You can, for example, fit this with a drone excluder so the trap becomes selective. This means any bycaught bees can escape while the hornets remain trapped. The robust stainless steel construction provides durable and reliable protection for your hives. Bees can safely fly between the wires, while hornets are captured and neutralised. An energizer is required for the harp to operate (sold separately), and when using multiple harps a link cable can be useful to connect them together. Ideal for beekeepers who want to protect their colonies against this invasive species.

Please note: supplied without water tray but with tube, photo is different!

With this complete starter set you’re ready to control and deter the Asian hornet right away. The set includes a high-quality stainless steel (RVS/INOX) harp that you can easily assemble yourself. The harp’s wires are powered by the included USB or solar panel shock unit, so Asian hornets receive a shock and are stunned or killed. The smart design lets bees fly safely through the wires, while hornets are caught and fall into the water reservoir, where they drown.

Choose from several sets tailored to your needs, with options for USB or solar panel power. Some sets include multiple harps and connection cables to protect a larger area, and the water reservoir ensures captured hornets are eliminated effectively. This method helps reduce predation pressure on your hives, especially during the Asian hornet’s active months.

Choose the set that best fits your situation (note: USB power adapter not included!):

The Harp Kit 60 cm - stainless steel (RVS/INOX) is a complete set to assemble a stainless-steel harp for effective control of the Asian hornet. The durable stainless steel (RVS/INOX) construction provides optimal protection for your beehives. Bees can safely fly through the wires, while hornets are caught and eliminated. The harp requires a shock unit (sold separately) to operate, and when using multiple harps a linking cable can be useful to connect them together. Ideal for beekeepers who want to protect their bee colonies against this invasive species.

The Harp solar panel shock unit - for stainless steel (INOX) Harp powers your Harp in an eco-friendly way to effectively combat the Asian hornet. The device generates power via solar energy and keeps the harp wires electrified. When a hornet touches both wires, it receives an electric shock, which stuns or disables it. This unit is ideal for beekeepers seeking a sustainable, standalone solution to protect their hives.

The Harp USB shock unit – for stainless steel (INOX) Harp – provides power to the harp wires, allowing you to effectively combat the Asian hornet. When the hornet touches both wires, it receives an electric shock that stuns or disables it. The unit connects easily via USB, but note: the USB power supply is not included and must be purchased separately. Ideal for beekeepers who want a reliable way to protect their hives.

The 80 cm water tray/reservoir – for the 80 cm stainless steel (INOX) harp – is specially designed to sit beneath the harp and collect captured Asian hornets. Once the hornets are neutralized by the electric shock, they fall into the water reservoir where they drown. This reservoir is easy to install and helps boost the harp’s effectiveness by definitively eliminating the hornets. A practical add-on for beekeepers who want to protect their bee colonies.
