How many times have you wished you had an extra pair of hands, or some kind of field stand to hold a frame or two while you’re working your hives?
Well, here’s the solution — a folding work bench, invented by a Canadian beekeeper and used for years in our own small apiary!
The Stonehaven BEE-Mate
A Folding Work Stand for Beekeepers
This handy “Beekeeper’s Helper” is a convenient work stand to set down supers, with a rack to hang up frames — whether you’re making up nucs, sorting frames, or just checking in on the “girls” during swarm season.
The BEE-Mate field stand’s 18-inch height makes beekeeping easier on your back and knees, especially when you’re working with supers loaded with honey. It also comes in handy in the workshop, as an extra work surface when you’re building or repairing frames and supers.
When it’s not in use, the BEE-Mate folds up to a space-saving 4 inches deep — so you can easily hang it on the wall or tuck it behind a door, out of the way.
