Mitch from Central Highland Native Bees has done a bit of work with the “Externally piped honey super concept”, see his Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/centralhighlandnativebees
This is an updated version to my previous design of 2020.
Photos show the white frame honey super. It has a clear perspex window on each side. The only access for the bees in through the external black tube that connects on the back in to the main middle brood box of the hive.
Once the frame is full of honey pots it can be removed from the hive without disturbing the main colony. The frame can be placed in the freezer which will cool the resin and let the windows pop off cleanly.
The frame could be added to any standard box.
Updates to come!
