Comb Keeper—the perfect reusable tool for burr comb and cutouts. Comb Keeper holds comb centered until the bees connect it to the frame; no more worries that they’ll chew through rubber bands too early. Slide Comb Keeper onto the frame, push the comb into place, and drop into the hive. Come back a few weeks later and slide Comb Keeper off to reuse!

Fits frames with a 3/4” top bar.

Pocket queen. As one does.

Looking for someone in Northern Georgia who does Hive Tours! (not for me, trying to help someone out.)

All set up! Special thanks to Aperture Apiary for the super cool educational tools!

Hatboro EAC Earth Day Event ready for our presentation Hatboro EAC

JZBZ grafting cells are 8.5mm wide. these two cells are 8.8 and 8.9mm wide. Bigger queens! Will try 9 and 9.1mm next.

Life has been very busy for me lately, with a new baby and an (almost) four year old, but last year I sent some of my wearable varroa mites to Dr. Sammy Ramsey and they turned up in a Disney+/National Geographic documentary series called Secrets of the Bees! You can find them yourself in episode 2, The Pollinators.

the lighting in my printer room is not great, but I’m producing prototype batches of these new grafting cells so they can be put to the test as soon as possible.

between helping with the new baby and sneaking in much-needed naps, I’m packing orders and working on my new grafting cup. here’s a beta prototype that should be usable for testing.

(please excuse the baby and toddler toys scattered around, things are a little chaotic!)

things will be a bit quieter around here for the next few weeks. my wife and I welcomed our second child earlier today.
I’m working on getting all the orders shipped out from the expo, but things may take a bit longer!
