Welcome to Bee 1st.
Oct 2024
The season is nearly over and all that is left to do is feed thick syrup (Invertbee or similar) so that your hives are full of stores to see the colonies through to the spring. We have a full range of feeds and supplements in stock to help you prep your hives for the winter ahead.
National Honey Show
Once again we will be having a stand at the NHS, this year our stand will be much larger in size so be sure to drop by and grab a bargain.
Yellow Legged Asian Hornets
A number of yellow legged Asian hornet nests have already been reported and destroyed in Kent and East Sussex so if haven’t already deployed your Gard’Apis traps then you might be missing capturing this autumns queens. Now is the time to swap the Nozzles over to the Red Nozzles to monitor for Queen hornets. If you haven’t already, download and install the Asian Hornet Watch app on your smart phone, it’s the easiest way to confirm and report any sightings you make.
Gard’Apis.
The traps have been designed and developed in the field in France by beekeepers. The design has under gone 28 iterations so that it only catches Asian hornet queens and workers. By-Catch is reduced to a minimum by using two different sized nozzles, the red nozzle is used to catch queens in the spring and autumn and the orange nozzle to catch workers during the summer. RRP £23.99 each, bulk discounts available for Beekeeping Associations.
