Wooden Beehive Wax Dipping - Sterilisation & Preserve Tank by Thomas Apiculture

Preserve and protect your beehives the professional way with the Thomas Wax Dipping Tank, designed for sterilising wooden beehives and impregnating timber with molten wax.

Wax dipping is one of the most effective methods to protect hive boxes and components against rot, decay, and disease. By immersing beehive parts in hot food-grade wax (such as paraffin, microcrystalline, or beeswax), the wax penetrates deep into the timber, leaving your hive boxes:

• Heavier, stronger, and completely waterproof
• Resistant to rot, mould, and decay
• Sterilised against wax moth, AFB, and EFB when wax is heated to the correct temperature

This process can extend the working life of your beehives by many years — making it the ultimate long-term investment for beekeepers.
