Bee feeding, queen rearing and hive health
The needs of each colony change throughout the year. Feeders and supplementary food may be useful when natural stores are insufficient or during particular stages of colony development. Decisions should take account of the season, colony strength and the natural resources available.
For queen rearing and management, we offer nucleus hives, cages, queen cups, marking equipment and other specialist accessories. You can also browse our chemical and natural products for beekeeping. Products intended for hive health management must always be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable legislation.
Honey extraction, filtering and packaging
After harvesting, honey must be uncapped, extracted, filtered, allowed to settle and packed in suitable containers. Abadia Rural supplies radial honey extractors, honey filters, maturation tanks and drums and filling equipment.
For presenting and selling the finished product, browse our honey jars, available in different sizes and formats.
