The API AEROSOL II is an advanced device designed for controlled inhalation of aerosols generated within the beehive. With its forced airflow technology, it efficiently captures the air from inside the hive. This system delivers a higher airflow rate compared to traditional passive inhalation methods, with intensity adjustable across 5 levels.
It is beekeeping equipment, not a medical device. What it does is described precisely; what it does not do, we do not claim either.
Ventilation unit that draws air from inside the hive, filters it and carries it to a mask, with flow adjustable across five levels from 3 to 12 litres per minute. Runs on 230 V or 12 V.
01 · HOW IT WORKS
The unit takes air from inside the hive with a built-in fan, passes it through a filter and carries it by hose to the mask or mouthpiece. The circuit is closed, so what arrives is not mixed with outside air.
The air in a hive is a mixture of volatile compounds from honey, wax and propolis, in an environment of stable humidity and temperature. That is what the device captures and delivers: no more and no less.
02 · THE FIVE LEVELS
The flow is adjustable across five levels. The manufacturer suggests the low levels, 3 to 6 l/min, in May, June and July, when the hive is in full brood and the air carries more volatiles.
And the high levels, 8 to 12 l/min, in quieter seasons, to make up with flow what is missing in concentration.
03 · WHICH HIVE
Common sense applies: take air from a hive that is healthy and in good condition. A colony under veterinary treatment is not the hive to breathe from — beekeeping medicines have withdrawal periods precisely because they leave residues.
And as with any hive product: it is not for people allergic to stings or to bee products.
04 · WHAT IS IN THE BOX
The set includes the ventilation unit with flow regulator, the 230 V / 12 V adapter, a mask with a one-way valve in size L, the connecting hose, the filter and a mouthpiece for direct inhalation.
As it also runs on 12 V, it can go out to the apiary with an external battery or an API-SUPPLY power unit, which is what makes it usable away from a socket.
