Tools & Accessories
Every beekeeper needs a good smoker, hive tool, and bee brush. Explore our selection of practical tools and accessories that make hive inspections easier.
Bee Brush
Soft-bristled bee brush for gently moving bees off frames during inspections and honey harvest. The gentle bristles won't injure bees or damage comb. About 14" long with a comfortable wooden handle.
Professional Bee Escape
Professional bee escape (Porter-style) lets bees leave the honey super without returning. Install it between the honey super and brood chamber the day before harvest so most bees move down overnight. Simple stainless hardware with a spring-loaded one-way escape design.
Dome Smoker
Dome-style stainless steel smoker with heat shield and hook. The dome shape helps direct smoke and the wire guard protects your hands from the hot barrel. Sturdy bellows with excellent airflow.
Queen Excluder
Plastic queen excluder for 10-frame Langstroth hives. Placed between the brood box and honey supers to keep the queen from laying eggs in your honey frames while allowing worker bees to pass through freely.
Bee-Quick Honey Harvesting Repellent
Bee-Quick is a natural, beekeeper-friendly honey harvesting repellent used with a fume board to clear bees from supers quickly. Organic-approved formula with a pleasant scent and no harsh benzaldehyde smell.
Frame Gripper
Frame gripper makes lifting frames out of a tight hive body easy and secure. Spring-loaded jaws grip the frame ends firmly so you can pull straight up without slipping. Saves your back and your patience on busy inspection days.
Frame Perch
Handy frame perch hooks over the side of an open hive body, giving you a secure place to hang frames during inspections. Keeps your frames organized, off the ground, and within easy reach. Holds two frames at a time.
Hive Tool
Standard flat hive tool, the most versatile tool in your bee box. Use it to pry apart supers, scrape burr comb, lift frames, and a hundred other tasks. Stainless steel construction. You'll wonder how you ever managed without one.
Hive Tool J Hook
J-hook hive tool combines a traditional pry bar with a curved hook end for lifting frames. The hook slides under the frame ear and lets you lever frames up and out with one smooth motion. Many beekeepers prefer this over the standard flat tool.
HopGuard 3
HopGuard 3 varroa mite control strips for bee colonies. Food-grade treatment designed for use between brood frames with strong bee, brood, and queen tolerance. Leave strips in place for at least 14 days and use as directed on the label.
Introduction Cage
Ensure queen acceptance with this introduction cage. Trap the queen on a brood frame and push the cage directly into the wax. Allow the workers to release her or do it manually.
Mouse Guard
Stainless steel mouse guard keeps mice and other small critters out of your hive during the cold months. Simply tack it across the entrance in the fall and remove it in spring. A must-have for overwintering your colonies in Cache Valley.
Propolis Trap
Propolis trap collects propolis as bees fill in the narrow gaps. Place it on top of the frames in place of your inner cover. When full, freeze it and flex the trap to pop out the propolis. A great way to harvest this valuable hive product.
Queen Excluder
Metal-bound queen excluder keeps the queen in the brood chamber while allowing workers to pass through to the honey supers above. This means your honey supers stay brood-free for a cleaner harvest. Standard 10-frame size.
Robbing Screen
This moving/robbing screen is extremely effective. It can be completely closed up when moving or used to reduce the impact of robbing. It allows sufficient airflow.
Smoker
Heavy-duty stainless steel smoker with heat shield. The large firebox holds plenty of fuel for extended inspections. Bellows are made from durable materials that stand up to years of use. An essential tool for any beekeeper.
Smoker Fuel
All-natural smoker fuel made from compressed cotton. Lights easily, burns cool, and produces a nice thick white smoke. Each bag provides plenty of fuel for many hive inspections. Keep your smoker stoked and your bees calm.
Smoker Pellets
KwikStart Smoker Pellets have got to be seen to be believed! Simply light with a flame, blow it out and watch the smoke roll (if using to start your other smoker fuel, leave the flame going for fast fire starting action!) These can be used alone for checking a hive or two, or used as a starter for any other smoker fuel. Takes the work out of starting your smoker!
Solar Fume Board
Solar fume board works with bee-repellent sprays (like Fischer's Bee-Quick) to clear bees from honey supers. The dark top absorbs sunlight and heats the board, vaporizing the repellent down through the super. Works best on warm, sunny days.
Square Veil w/ Zipper
Square veil with full zipper closure. The zipper attaches securely to jacket collars, giving you a complete seal without gaps. Fine mesh on all sides for visibility and airflow. Upgrade from string-tie if you want extra security.
Sundance Pollen Trap
The Sundance pollen traps are the best designed pollen traps! Their ease of use make them the best choice for collecting clean, fresh pollen for human consumption or to mix with your own protein patties. Bees pass through a series of mesh screens which will dislodge the pollen from the baskets. Includes drone escapes. When you are ready to discontinue collection, simply flip the door and bees enter as normal. Complete instructions included. Fresh pollen often sells for a generous profit in health food stores -- your bees make it better.
Uncapping Needle Roller
Uncapping needle roller for loosening wax cappings before extraction. Handy beekeeping tool that helps open capped honey cells quickly so frames are ready for spinning in the extractor.

Affordable. • 1 gallon tank fits any size cover, telescoping or migratory. • Great for early season buildup, packages and splits. • Perfect for fall feeding – prevents robbing. • Gives bees easier/faster access to syrup. • Twist lock keeps tank securely in place – will not blow off. • Monitor syrup level and refill without opening hive. • Works great with Ultimate Hive Cover. • EZ Lift/Grip Tank for easy handling • 1” diameter nipple with 6 holes for quick feeding
Uncapping Scratcher
Stainless steel uncapping scratcher for opening honeycomb cells that your uncapping knife might miss. The tine-style design reaches into low spots and uneven areas on the comb face. Also great for checking drone brood for varroa mites.
Plastic Debris Board for 8-Frame Bee Hives
Reusable plastic debris board for 8-frame bee hives. Slides under a screened bottom board so you can monitor natural mite drop, track colony debris, and re-use the board after cleaning and reapplying a light coating.
Varroa Sticky Board
This sticky board can be used with or without the screen to monitor or diagnose a varroa infestation. If placed directly on the bottom board a screen will be needed to keep the bees from the adhesive. When used in conjunction with a screened bottom board, the replacement sticky board can be used alone. The sticky board is conveniently printed with the grid lines to aid in determining the number of mites present.
Varroa Sticky Board w/ Screen
Varroa sticky board with screen. The screen sits on the bottom board and allows mites to fall through onto the sticky board below, where they get trapped. Use this to monitor your mite levels without treating. Essential for Integrated Pest Management.
