Beekeeping Tools

Beekeeping tools are the basic conditions for beekeeping production. Choosing the right beekeeping tools is also an important matter worthy of attention for beekeepers. Good beekeeping tools are great for bee breeding. If the tools are not selected properly, they may cause greater losses and directly affect the economic income of beekeepers. So what are the tools for bee breeding?

1. Lift the scraper

The scraper is also a special tool for beekeeping. It is forged from high-quality steel, with a curved blade at one end and a flat blade at the other end. The scraper is mainly used to pry the auxiliary cover, the box, the nest frame, the king board and the bottom of the box, remove the spleen, the drone hive, and scrape the propolis. At the same time, the scraper can also play the role of nailing iron nails and clamping small wooden strips.

2. Bee brush

The bee brush is a special tool for brushing off bees. It is mainly used to clean the bees attached to the spleen of the nest. Generally, the bee brush is required to be soft and moderate so as not to damage the bees, so it is best to be made of horsehair or horsetail.

3. Face mesh

The face net is a protection tool for beekeepers, mainly to prevent the head and neck of beekeepers from being stinged by bees. There are many forms of face nets, but the principle of production is to ensure lightness, durability, and clear vision. At present, the main use is made of white nylon yarn, and the front perspective part is made of black meshed nylon yarn. When in use, the face net is fixed to the brim of the wide-brimmed hat. Sometimes the bee cap and the face net can be stitched together, which is more convenient to use.
