Canadian Cone Escapes – Pack of 10 | Bee Escape Cones for Clearer Boards

Canadian Cone Escapes – Pack of 10

These Canadian Cone Escapes are a simple and highly effective way to clear bees from honey supers before harvesting. Designed for use in clearer boards or escape boards, the cones allow bees to move down out of the supers but make it difficult for them to return, leaving your honey supers largely bee-free and ready for extraction.

Widely used by beekeepers, Canadian cone escapes are commonly fitted into homemade or commercial bee clearer boards to provide a reliable one-way exit system for worker bees. Bees can easily find their way out through the cone but struggle to re-enter, helping to reduce the number of bees in the honey supers before removal.

Sold here as a bag of 10, they are ideal for building or refurbishing multiple clearer boards ready for the honey harvest.
