Tools Sticky Board-Mite Monitoring Tool White, flexible, reusable plastic. You can cut it with scissors, and secure it in place with thumbtacks. You can coat it with oil, wash it off, and use it again and again. Swarm Lure/Starter Comb This kit contains a piece of natural brood comb, the wire to fasten it to a top bar, and a dose of lemon- grass essential oil. Having this piece of brood comb in your hive, and wiping the oil on the inside of the hive makes things “smell” a little more like home. Prevents your bees from absconding! Top Bar Hive Tool This top bar hive tool does all the things that need doing in your top bar hive. It slips easily between the top bars to separate them as you inspect your hive. It’s long and thin, perfect for the “windshield wiper” technique used to cut away any comb the bees may have stuck to the side of the hive. It cuts and scrapes and cleans when needed. Works great for every top bar beekeeper’s inspecting needs! $20.00 $25.00 $25.00 GoldStarHoneybees.com 11
