Fume Board

Fume Board – Fast & Efficient Honey Super Clearing

A fume board is an essential tool for quickly and effectively clearing honeybees from honey supers during warm, sunny days. Used with Bee-Go, Honey Bandit, or Honey-B-Gone, it helps beekeepers remove bees without excessive disturbance, making honey harvesting easier and more efficient.

Why You'll Love It:

✅ Fast Bee Removal – Works quickly to clear honey supers
✅ Easy to Use – Just apply your chosen bee repellent and place on the hive
✅ Effective in Warm Weather – Best results on sunny days
✅ Compatible with Multiple Repellents – Works with Bee-Go, Honey Bandit, or Honey-B-Gone
✅ Available in 10-Frame or 8-Frame Sizes – Fits standard Langstroth hives

How to Use:

1️⃣ Preheat the Fume Board – Place the board in direct sunlight for a few minutes to warm up. A black-painted top can help absorb heat faster.
2️⃣ Apply Bee Repellent – Spray or apply Bee-Go, Honey Bandit, or Honey-B-Gone onto the absorbent pad inside the fume board. Do not over-saturate—a light, even application works best.
3️⃣ Place the Fume Board on the Hive – Position the board canvas-side down on top of the honey super.
4️⃣ Wait 2-3 Minutes – The heat will help vaporize the repellent, encouraging bees to move down and out of the honey super.
5️⃣ Remove the Super – Once the bees have cleared, lift the honey super and proceed with extraction.

Best used in warm, sunny weather for optimal effectiveness.
