INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our 2016 catalogue. What strange weather we've been experiencing over the last few months.
It's now early February and the garden is full of snowdrops, crocus and daffodils in bloom. Who knows what
weather conditions will be in the spring and summer.
You will see our Beekeeper Baron on the front cover. He was sponsored by us as part of the Baron's Trail in Lincoln
to celebrate the 800th Anniversary of the Magna Carta. Lincoln has one of the original copies of Magna Carta.
Stephen Langton the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time was born at Langton-by-Wragby, just three miles
away from Rand. He, supported by 25 Barons "persuaded" King John to sign the Carta, so in celebration Lincoln
had 25 Barons in their trail. They were all fabulous and the trail was popular with locals and visitors alike. After
12 weeks in the street, they were auctioned off for charity and we were happy to get our Baron back. The Baron
will be touring the country in 2016, visiting beekeeping conventions with us. A photo opportunity, perhaps.
We have also been busy over the last few months designing, testing and sourcing new products. Please do
check out the Adapta Stand on page four. It really is so, well, adaptable! More options will be added in the
future. Over the last few months our clever engineers have made another wax embossing machine which will
be permanently set up for thin super so no downtime while the rollers are
changed. See the row of the three machines we have now on page 16.
Were also pleased to have yet more different designs of hive tools and
gloves, ventilated protective clothing, Potts Snuggle Boards, a ventilator,
newly designed 4C which will fit our crystal comb containers, section cases,
Cupkits, Bailey Boards, Rainbow Mating Hives, Hive Clean, Api-Bioxal,
Nutri-Bee, ApiCandy and a few IC products. After many years, Grading
Glasses are back in stock, thanks mainly to the hard work and persistence
of Bernard Diaper. Willie Robson of Chain Bridge Honey Farm has kindly
shown us his insulated feeder board so these, too, are now available.
So, fingers crossed for decent weather and healthy and thriving bees in
2016.

HIVE PROTECTION
BEEHIVE PAINT
From an old established German company, we offer this beehive paint, a highly weather
resistant acrylic paint which has been specially formulated for hives, both wooden or
polystyrene. The paint is water based, hard wearing, hazard free and breathable. It
is very easy to apply with brilliant colour fastness and can even be applied to interior
surfaces of the hive.
In Europe it is primarily used to paint alighting boards, entrances, broods etc as an aid
to orientation for the bees, helping to prevent drifting. We have a complete National hive
painted with these paints. See page 3.
Available in 375ml tins in white, yellow, red and blue and in 750ml tins in green and brown.
BEEHIVE GLAZE
Also from Germany, this highly weather resistant timber glaze. It penetrates deep into the wood to give a dirt and water
repellent, tack free surface with no harm to the bees. Light-resistant pigments give intensive colour to the timber and
prevent long term greying of the wood through UV radiation.
Available in 750ml. tins in pine, walnut or khaki.
APISTOP
Multi component and multi-use hive paste for sealing cracks, splits, knots etc. It effectively protects from
rain, is frost and high temperature resistant and is suitable for sealing leaking feeders. 100g.
Simply warm a portion of paste in your hand to soften and press into offending crack. Remove excess
with a hive tool or other sharp instrument.
DANISH OIL
A waterborne blend of natural plant oils and other special ingredients to nourish and protect your hives. It contains UV light inhibitors
that protect against sunlight with the oil drying to a low lustre finish. Brushes can be cleaned in water.
Supplied in a 1 litre screw top tin.

DARTINGTON HIVE
Many standard UK hives were designed for moving to orchards,
crops and heather. They are easy to lift, stack and transport.
To many beekeeping priorities have changed and the majority
of beekeepers are hobbyists who keep bees for recreation and
in a permanent location.
The management of a long deep hive such as the Dartington
employs the same classic principles as standard hives but
substitutes shifting horizontally for lifting vertically. Bending
is reduced considerably due the design of the hive and its
comfortable working position.
Key seasonal operations-expanding in spring, dividing to control
swarming, managing varroa, rearing a replacement queen and
harvesting honey are easier to carry out. The Dartington Hive
is specially designed to meet todays expectations on safety,
convenience, economy and style.
The complete hive, made from marine plywood and British
cedar, includes, twenty one 14x12 frames and premier
wired foundation, twenty four SN4 frames and premier wired
foundation, two 14x12 dummy boards and a standard frame
feeder. It also comes with a spare super and two 14x12
nucleus boxes with cover boards.
Plywood, especially edges, will need regular maintenance.

sourced from apiaries in the South Island of New
Zealand. Probably the best foundation in the world.
After careful checks, the wax is packed in polythene
to help retain the delicate aroma and to keep it fresh.
All foundation, is packed in multiples of ten, and is
manufactured in all regular sizes, both in worker base
and drone base. Thin super for cut comb and sections

Needs daily attention. SWARMING AND ITS CONTROL
Watching a swarm is a glorious sight, but it is our duty as beekeepers to
minimise the nuisance that our bees cause. Left to their own devices, colonies
will produce swarms mainly in May, June and July, although not every
colony will swarm every year. The first swarm contains the original queen,
and perhaps half the workers (mostly young ones). Subsequent swarms may
still emerge with virgin queens.
Any of the following will reduce the amount of swarming but not eliminate
it entirely.
1. Give plenty of room in the supers.

Using our Radial Extractor

1. Place the uncapped frame into the extractor, the top bar lug located in
the D section of the bottom ring and the other end between the upper
forks.
2. Ensure that the cage is evenly balanced.
3. Rotate the machine for several minutes slowly and then gradually increase
the speed until honey can be seen leaving the comb freely. Continue
to spin for 2-3 minutes, increasing to maximum speed on the electric
machine or approx. one hundred turns on a manual machine.
4. Extraction time will vary considerably depending on the ambient
temperature and the viscosity of the honey.
N.B. Ensure the top bars of the frames are clear of any honey in the extractor.
N.B. Do not reverse the RM motor while the cage is revolving.
N.B. Use only a 3 amp fuse in the plug.

below. All hive floors are now Open Mesh.
Step 1: A double brood colony
is selected and the bottom box
(containing the queen) is put
back onto the floor and reversed, so the entrance is at
the opposite side of the hive, this entrance is then closed. The Cloake board is
placed on top of the lower brood body (without the floor slide in place) on the
opposite side to the new lower entrance, acting as a queen excluder, confining
the queen to the bottom box. The bees from both boxes use the upper entrance.
Step 2: The floor slide is slid into the board separating the two brood boxes. The
lower rear entrance is opened. This causes all the flying bees to return to and
populate the upper box. The upper box is left for 24 hours so they can determine
that they are queenless, and prepare to raise a new queen. The queen in the
lower chamber can be used with a Jenter or Cupkit frame to supply eggs of
known age for the next step.
Step 3: Grafted cells are installed in the upper box. Any emergency cells are
removed. Within 2-3 days the grafted cells are accepted and are started, and
built up.
Step 4: Reunite the colony as a Finisher, by removing the floor slider from the
Cloake board. The queen excluder will prevent the queen from interfering with
the new queen Cells. One the upper box starts on the new queen Cells they will
continue to maturity. The queens cells will need to be transferred to nucleus

API-BIOXAL TRICKLING NOTES

If practising the trickling method by using oxalic acid in a sugar syrup please be
aware of the inherent dangers to your bees.
NEW A sugar syrup/acid solution requires special low temperature storage conditions.
At this level the HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) content in the solution is
maintained at 22mg/kg.
HMF levels increase with temperature and syrup/acid solutions stored, even at
room temperature, will contain high levels of HMF (approx. 1200mg/kg after 30
weeks). At this level live bees will not be harmed but any syrup stored for later
feeding to larvae will be highly toxic and could kill them.
It is therefore advisable to always prepare a fresh mixture before treatment.
