Clearing bees out of a honey super before harvest can mean fumes, blowers, or a lot of brushing — this board uses the sun instead. Spray a bee repellent onto the fabric interior, set it on top of the super, and solar heat drives the smell down through the box, pushing bees out within minutes.

Key Features

Works with both 8-frame and 10-frame Langstroth hives
Black aluminum sheeting absorbs solar heat efficiently
Absorbent fabric interior holds and releases bee repellent evenly
Clears a super in about 7 minutes under good sun
Robust wood rim for durability
Use multiple boards at once to clear several supers simultaneously

How to Use It

Spray a non-toxic bee repellent onto the fabric interior, then place the board directly over the honey super you want to clear. Solar heat drives the repellent smell down into the box, pushing bees out and down into the hive. After about 7 minutes in good sun, the super should be largely bee-free and ready to pull.
