Fume Board – Fast & Efficient Honey Super Clearing

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.
