Australian-Made One-Way Metal Bee Escape

Build a custom clearer board for honey harvesting with the Australian-Made One-Way Metal Bee Escape from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

This individual metal escape can be attached to a suitable board to create a simple one-way pathway that allows bees to move out of a honey super while making it difficult for them to return.

Build Your Own Escape Board

Rather than purchasing a complete assembled clearer board, DIY beekeepers can use individual escapes to create a board that suits their own equipment.

Most traditional escape boards use an escape at each corner.

The product is sold as an individual escape, so calculate the number required before beginning your build.

Make Super Removal Easier

Removing a honey super filled with bees can turn harvest day into a lot of brushing and shaking.

An escape board is placed below the super ahead of collection.

Bees move downward through the escape towards the brood area, but the one-way shape makes the return route difficult to locate.

When the super is removed later, there are generally fewer bees to manage.

Made in Australia

This metal escape is made in Australia and offers a straightforward, durable option for traditional DIY clearer-board construction.

Because the escape is a separate component, the surrounding board can be built from the material and dimensions that match your hive system.

Plan the Timing

Escape boards should not be left indefinitely.

Given enough time, bees can learn routes through many one-way designs.

Install the clearer board before harvest, monitor the hive and remove the super and board once the clearing process has done its job.
