World Bee Day - 20th May!

Let's Celebrate!

Are you keeping bees or just enjoying their bounty of golden elixir?

There's a special day to celebrate their gift to us!

Hi Friend,

I have great passion for our little "handmaidens of nature®" keeping the food chain of the planet in working order...

This World Bee Day it's time to share their contribution and of all pollinators - by extension - to the sheer brilliance of design by nature developed over millennia to support the planet by visiting plants, trees and more and spreading the blessing of flora to the globe!

Not to mention food!

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT POLLINATORS!

Every year on May 20th, the world celebrates the vital role bees and other pollinators play in food security, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems.

At Bee Ware®, we believe that everyone — from farmers to city dwellers — can do something to support pollinators.

Here are 5 simple ways you can make a difference this week:

🌸 1. Plant Pollinator-Friendly Flowers
Bees love lavender, foxgloves, borage, basil and wildflowers. Plant a patch in your garden, balcony, or even a window box! They also help other pollinators.

⛔ 2. Go Pesticide-Free
Avoid using harmful pesticides or weed killers. They often do more harm than good for beneficial insects. Substitute for horticultural vinegar at 20% and salt with water.

🌾 3. Support Local Beekeepers
Buying local honey and beeswax products helps small-scale beekeepers keep healthy hives — and protects local bee populations.

🧒 4. Teach Someone About Bees
Share a fun bee fact with a child, friend, or co-worker. Education sparks change!

💛 5. Sponsor a Beekeeper or Hive
This World Bee Day, we’re offering a special chance to sponsor a hive or beginner beekeeper through an [Adopt-a-Bee initiative]. Your support helps train the next generation of bee guardians.

Thank you for your time.

"May the flow bee forever in your favour!"

Manual Wax Press

Honeycomb wax press is a manual wax press machine for processing honeycomb and cappings from honey harvests not using frames. It is a manual wax press that requires corkscrew type manual twisting to make the vice move lower and higher to squeeze the comb so the honey can escape by way of crushing the comb and cappings. The honey then escapes down the sides and out the funnel at the front end. This leaves the beeswax behind and is about 85% clean of honey. Not all residue is removed using this process however it is effective. The beeswax forms a round shaped cake for further handling and processing. Run the honey through a double strainer which is a macro filter made from stainless steel into buckets and or settling tanks.

Refractometers

Moisture content is vital in determining the ripeness of honey as too much moisture leads to fermentation and degradation of the honey.

Where moisture is 16-18% the content is considered mature and the honey is ripe.

This unit is a mobile unit that can be used anywhere.

Refractometers are used to measure moisture content in honey for grading purposes.

Honey Gate - Plastic

Honeygate Tap

Plastic honeygate taps are used to help bottle honey from a bucket or other type of container. Our honeygates are yellow and made from plastic. They include the typical scissor action to help prevent leaks when pouring honey. Cut a hole in the bucket and place one half inside the bucket near the bottom. Place the other half outside the bucket or container. Screw them together and make it tight. Test it with honey or water. Make sure the seal is closed tight and the hole you cut out is at the lowest part of the bucket or container. Do not cut the hole bigger or larger than the diameter of the tap itself. The diameter of the honeygate tap is 40mm wide.

8-Way Bee Escape - Yellow Plastic

It's the 8-way bee escape used for getting bees out of the super chamber and into the brood chamber so that it is possible to remove the super chamber without many bees still inside it. We don't sell the wooden component but any plastic or wooden or even cardboard can be used as you cut a hole in it and place the bee escape over the hole where the bees will enter and then they walk out the 8 escape routes and down into the brood chamber. One of the hassle of harvesting honey is how to get the bees out of the super chamber... Well, now you know you can use the 8-way bee escape! Postage or courier is extra. Collection is free from the store in Centurion.
