We recently held our “Easy Buzzing Bee Course” this weekend and half of the learners rented bee suits for the day’s training.

8-Frame Electric Extractor
R14660,008-Frame Electric Honey Extractor
The 8-frame electric honey extractor is quite a machine. It is for the next level hobby beekeeper that makes the leap from hobby to side business with your beekeeping! This honey spinner is reversible, which means it doesn't need the frames to be lifted up and turned around between harvesting each side. Some extractors, but not this one, only spin one-way. What this leads to is the extractor having to be brought to a halt and all of the frames being lifted turned around and then put back into the extractor to empty the other side. This extractor, like many of our others, makes use of reversible technology so that all that you, as the beekeeper, need to do is bring the centrifuge spinner to a stop and then just switch the setting on the controller to swing the other direction. Why is this important to do? Firstly, when harvesting and spinning raw honey one has to empty the frames equally on both sides in proportions. Let me explain, you fill the extractor with honey frames and they are full on both sides. Heavily laden. If you spin one side to empty then the frame comb will break under the stress of the weight of the other side. In order to avoid this, you have to allow for only 25% - 30% of the honey on one side to be extracted before stopping and repeating the same on another side! Secondly, it saves you time not having to remove, turn around the place back inside the extractor all of the frames. Remember, too heavy on one side, and the comb breaks. Thirdly, the process to fully remove and extract as much honey from the comb as possible requires about three sets of this process. When using a reversible honey extractor, this process doesn't need to be done by you. It doesn't take twice as long to harvest honey using an extractor that does not reverse. Lastly, the 8-frame electric controller is programmable. Meaning it can be set up to run a preset command sequence. Awesome right?! Get yours today! Get more honey in less time. Get your 'wet' supers back out there in no time!Soap: Creamy Honey & Oatmeal Soap

R55,00New Concrete Hive (Bee Bunka)
Concrete Bee Hive (Bee Bunka) –
Fire Resistant Beehive Made in South Africa
Traditional wooden bee hives have served beekeepers for generations—but modern beekeeping faces new challenges.
Extreme heat.
Wildfires.
Weather damage.
Theft.
Warping wood.
Short hive lifespan.
That is why more beekeepers are exploring stronger, more durable alternatives like the Concrete Bee Hive (Bee Bunka).
Proudly made in South Africa, this innovative concrete beehive is designed to provide bees with a stronger, more stable, and more fire-resistant living environment compared to traditional timber hives.
Built for beginner, professional, and commercial beekeepers, the Bee Bunka combines:
✔ Durability
✔ Thermal stability
✔ Fire resistance
✔ Long-term hive strength
✔ Reduced maintenance
This hive is ideal for beekeepers operating in:
- Hot climates
- Fire-prone regions
- Tough outdoor conditions
- Long-term apiary setups
It is a modern beekeeping solution designed for serious resilience.
🔥 Why Fire Resistance Matters in Modern Beekeeping
One of the greatest risks facing apiaries today is fire.
Grass fires, veld fires, and wildfires can destroy:
❌ Entire colonies
❌ Honey production
❌ Expensive hive equipment
❌ Years of genetic breeding work
Traditional wooden hives burn quickly and intensely.
Concrete hives provide a far greater level of resistance to heat and fire exposure, helping reduce the risk of catastrophic hive loss.
For beekeepers operating in dry or wildfire-prone regions, this can become a major advantage.
🌡️ Excellent Temperature Stability for Bees
Bees work hard to regulate hive temperature.
In hot weather, colonies must:
- Fan constantly
- Collect water
- Cool brood areas
- Prevent comb collapse
Poor insulation creates stress on the colony and reduces productivity.
Concrete naturally provides better thermal mass and temperature stability compared to thin wooden hive walls.
This means:
✔ More stable internal temperatures
✔ Reduced heat spikes
✔ Better brood conditions
✔ Less colony stress during hot weather
For South African conditions, this can make a significant difference to hive comfort and colony performance.
🚨 The Problem With Traditional Wooden Hives
Wooden hives remain popular, but they come with several ongoing issues:
- Warping
- Rot
- Fire vulnerability
- Cracking in harsh weather
- Regular repainting and maintenance
- Shorter lifespan under difficult conditions
Commercial beekeepers especially understand how quickly maintenance costs add up when managing many hives.
Concrete hives solve many of these long-term durability problems.
🐝 Benefits of the Bee Bunka Concrete Hive
1. Fire Resistant Construction
Provides better protection against veld fires and heat exposure.
2. Longer Lifespan
Concrete construction offers exceptional durability and longevity.
3. Improved Hive Insulation
Helps maintain more stable temperatures inside the colony.
4. Reduced Maintenance
Less repainting, warping, and structural repair compared to timber hives.
5. Strong & Secure
Heavier construction can reduce movement during storms and windy conditions.
🇿🇦 Proudly Made in South Africa
The Bee Bunka concrete hive is locally made for South African beekeeping conditions.
Designed to handle:
✔ Harsh sun
✔ Heat extremes
✔ Outdoor exposure
✔ Tough environmental conditions
This makes it especially suited to local commercial and rural beekeeping operations.
🐝 Built for Beginners to Commercial Beekeepers
Suitable for:
✔ Beginner beekeepers
✔ Hobbyists
✔ Sideliners
✔ Commercial honey producers
✔ Pollination operators
✔ Remote apiaries
Whether you manage:
- One hive
or - Hundreds of colonies
…the Bee Bunka provides a strong long-term hive solution.
🌍 What Beekeepers Say Online About Concrete Hives
Across Reddit, permaculture forums, and commercial beekeeping discussions, concrete and insulated hives are gaining increasing attention.
Common beekeeper observations include:
“More stable temperatures inside the hive.”
“Excellent durability in harsh weather.”
“Less worry about wood rot and fire.”
Many beekeepers also report:
✔ Improved thermal stability
✔ Reduced maintenance over time
✔ Better hive resilience in hot climates
One growing trend in modern beekeeping: 👉 More interest in alternative hive materials built for climate resilience.
🔥 Why Thermal Stability Is Important
Hive temperature affects:
- Brood health
- Honey production
- Queen performance
- Bee stress levels
When hive temperatures fluctuate heavily:
❌ Bees work harder to regulate conditions
❌ Colony energy is wasted
❌ Brood can become stressed
Concrete naturally absorbs and releases heat more slowly than timber, helping smooth out temperature swings.
This creates a more stable environment for the colony.
🛠️ Low Maintenance Advantage
Commercial beekeepers know that hive maintenance consumes:
- Time
- Labour
- Money
Traditional wooden Langstroth bee hives often require:
❌ Repainting
❌ Wood replacement
❌ Repairs from rot or weather damage
Concrete hives dramatically reduce many of these ongoing maintenance issues.
That means:
✔ Longer service life
✔ Less maintenance time
✔ More durable apiary infrastructure
🐝 Ideal for Permanent Apiary Sites
The heavier construction of concrete hives makes them especially useful for:
✔ Permanent apiary locations
✔ Windy regions
✔ Harsh environments
✔ Long-term commercial setups
Unlike lightweight timber bee hives, they provide a more stable and secure structure once positioned.
🌿 A Modern Solution for Climate Challenges
As temperatures rise and environmental pressures increase, more beekeepers are looking for:
- Stronger hive materials
- Better insulation
- Greater fire resilience
- Longer-lasting equipment
The Bee Bunka concrete hive represents a modern approach to sustainable, resilient beekeeping infrastructure.
🐝 Final Takeaway
The Bee Bunka Concrete Hive is designed for beekeepers who want:
✔ Greater durability
✔ Better heat stability
✔ Fire resistance
✔ Reduced maintenance
✔ Long-term hive performance
Whether you are starting your first hive or managing a large commercial apiary, this innovative concrete hive offers a stronger and more climate-resilient alternative to traditional timber equipment.
