Beehave (set of 4)

The Beehave offers a simple, effective and harmless way to immobilise invertebrates in specimen tubes to facilitate field ID. The Beehave consists of a laser cut foam 'plunger' that is engineered to fit exactly into a 25mm diameter glass specimen tube. The stopper handle fits snugly within the tube to allow fine control of the pressure applied to the captured insect. A fine air hole in the plunger allows air to escape and prevents pressure build-up within the tube and also allows the Beehave to be used with aquatic specimens in water.

Available as:

Large 25mm diameter tubes (for Bombus, large diptera & coleoptera etc)

Small 19mm diameter tubes (for solitary wasps, solitary bees, smaller diptera & coleoptera etc)

Mixed Set: 2 x Large + 2 x Small

Each Beehave is fabricated from scrap plastazote that would otherwise go to landfill and is handmade in the UK.
