Bees & Frame Shaker

Compatibility: Langstroth, Dadant, and medium frames (25-30 mm heads). Not suitable for Layens frames without additional modifications.

Weight: 1.7 kg.

Description:

Introducing the bee frame shaker, an innovative and practical tool designed to transform the most demanding beekeeping tasks. Developed with the expertise of professional beekeepers, this device not only facilitates honey harvesting but also becomes an essential ally for various operations within the apiary, improving efficiency and reducing stress for both the beekeeper and the bees.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Vibration System: This shaker is equipped with three selectable vibration frequencies (1200, 1500, and 1800 RPM), allowing it to adapt to different beekeeping situations, ensuring safe and effective frame handling. This level of control is crucial for tailoring the tool to specific uses such as honey harvesting, queen cell removal, or varroa treatment.

• Powerful and Durable: With two 16-volt lithium batteries, each with a capacity of 2000 mAh, the shaker provides enough power to handle up to 1500 frames per charge. Its 220-volt charger ensures that one battery is always ready while the other is in use.

• Robust Design: The stainless steel claws, with a distance of 195 mm between them, are highly durable and provide a firm grip, ensuring the integrity of the frames and the safety of the bees.

Specialized Applications:

• Optimal Performance in Queen Cell Removal: During swarm season, beekeepers need to regularly inspect and remove queen cells. This shaker allows this task to be done without manually hitting the frames, reducing the risk of harming the bees or the queen. The bees gently fall into the box without being disturbed, also preventing nectar loss, saving time, and improving productivity.

• Facilitates Queen Caging for Varroa Treatment: Thanks to the vibration regulator, the shaker allows the bees to fall while the queen remains on the frame, making it easier to locate and cage her. This is particularly useful for varroa treatments, allowing the queen to be kept safe while the necessary treatment is applied.

• Assistance in Brood Separation: This tool is ideal for separating brood from adult bees. The shaker allows approximately 50% of the bees to fall into the mother hive while the rest are removed with the brood. This facilitates oxalic acid treatment and efficient swarm formation.

• Bee Package Formation: The shaker is also useful for forming bee packages of approximately 1.5 kg. Once the queen is located, the frames are shaken into a funnel with a scale, separating the younger, more productive bees. This process is much more efficient than traditional methods, ensuring high-quality packages ready for optimal performance.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces Stress for Bees and Beekeepers: By minimizing harsh manipulations and optimizing the efficiency of beekeeping tasks, this shaker helps keep bees calm and productive throughout the season.

• Field Versatility: From queen cell removal to varroa treatment and bee package formation, this shaker is an indispensable tool for beekeepers looking to optimize their time and effort.

• Cost-Effective Investment: With a wide range of applications throughout the beekeeping season, the shaker allows beekeepers to improve hive health and maximize honey production, quickly recouping the initial investment.

Includes: Two lithium batteries, battery charger, and stainless steel claws.

Warranty: The shaker comes with a 24-month device warranty and a 12-month battery warranty, ensuring full support during its use.
