Bee brush

We’ve all been there: closing the hive in a hurry and hearing that faint crack under the lid. When you open it and see the row of crushed bees, you know it could have been avoided. A single sweep of the brush would have been enough.

The bee brush may not be glamorous, but it’s one of the beekeeper’s most essential tools. Its purpose is simple yet vital: to gently remove bees when closing the hive or harvesting frames, without harming or stressing them. You’ll use it constantly, especially during honey harvest or when working on busy brood chambers.

This model combines tradition with functionality: an ergonomic varnished pine handle that ensures a firm grip even with gloves, and a double row of soft bristles (21 cm) that move the bees without injury. Its total length of 40 cm allows smooth, controlled movement in every sweep.

Pro tip: always brush in the direction of the bee’s body, from top to bottom, never against the grain. If you forget your brush, a handful of thyme or rosemary can work in a pinch —but nothing replaces a good clean brush ready to hand.

Technical specifications: pine wood handle, total length 40 cm, double row of natural soft bristles (21 cm), high-density and gentle touch.
