Asian Hornet Guard Protection with Trap
This new combined hive entrance guard and trap from Abelo is a real game changer in protecting bees from the Asian hornet! It reduces stress among bees while allowing for the safe and effective capture of hornets. Thanks to its spacious internal design, it creates a true safety buffer zone in front of the hive entrance. The bees can move freely, regroup, and observe their surroundings- without being directly exposed to hornet attacks.
The result? Less stress for foragers, a calmer colony, and a queen that keeps laying eggs without interruption.

Mini Ashforth Feeder 2.4L
This 2.4 litre box feeder is a practical and reliable solution for feeding honeybee colonies throughout the season. Its universal design makes it suitable for a wide range of hive types.
Manufactured from durable plastic, the feeder is built for long-term use and is easy to keep clean — an essential factor in maintaining good apiary hygiene and healthy colonies.
The feeder features a two-chamber design:
a larger chamber for filling with syrup or feed
a narrow access chamber that allows bees to move safely while reducing the risk of drowning
After feeding, the feeder can be washed in hot water, dried, and stored ready for the next feeding period, making it a practical and reusable piece of beekeeping equipment.
Please note: product colour may vary depending on the material batch.
