Apimaye Hives

The 10-Frame Apimaye Propolis Trap is an excellent way to harvest clean propolis from your Apimaye hive and add extra income. Replace your inner cover with our plastic propolis trap. The bees will fill the grooves of the trap with propolis.

To remove simply put the trap inside a plastic bag and freeze overnight. Being made of silicone they an be rolled up to fit into your freezer.  Once frozen, twist or bang the trap inside the bag against a flat surface to release the propolis.

The Apimaye Propolis Trap is made from quality food-grade silicone (just like kitchen cup cake molds), which make them superior to mats made of poylethylene (PE) or polypropylene PP), so they will not become brittle with age and easily hold their shape for many years.

Apimaye 7-Frame F/Depth Super - NEW

1 multifunction round entrance

Stainless (INOX) Lock & Latch Handles

Our 7-Frame systems are easier to lift as they are up to one third lighter than the regular 10-Frame hive.

Our knew 7-Frame Super, filled with 7-Frames of honey would be about 30% lighter than a 10-Frame Super, or about the same weight as a 10-Frame Manley Super. Therefore, it may be preferred by some beekeepers as they can have a lighter Super and can still use the frames interchangeably.

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!

Wood hive box not included

Multifunctional Entrance Closure 10F.

Perfect closure for standard 10-Frame wood hives.

A premium quality Apimaye product
Multifunctional Entrance Reducer / Closure / Mouse Guard for 7-Frame and 8-Frame hives.
When used with 8-Frame hives, a small wood entrance closure may be required.

The new entrance reducer has 2 nested sliders that enable you to customize your hive entrance. With the new reversible entrance reducer you can:

• Have the hive entrances on the edges instead of the center, just like the 7 frame hives
• If you are planning on having 2 colonies in the same hive and are concerned about the drifting, this would give you a good piece of mind
• If you would like to collect pollen for short periods of time, but don't want to put the trap in or out daily, you can block the centre and have the openings on the side
• Apimaye pollen traps are the highest yield pollen traps in the market that will take all the pollen from the bees. You can now put the pollen trap in the hive, and have a few holes of hive entrance open in the center, activating the pollen trap, and have more entrances on the edges, bypassing the pollen trap
• Thus collect some pollen and leave some pollen for the bees
