3-Pack 15.7" Wooden Bee Brushes — Beekeeping Hive Brush Set
Product description
This bundle contains three wooden bee brushes designed for routine hive management and honey collection. Each brush measures approximately 15.75 inches (40 cm) overall, providing a comfortable reach that keeps your hands a safe distance from frames during inspections.
The heads use soft, flagged hair bristles arranged in a double-row pattern to sweep bees off combs with minimal disturbance. The flagged tips reduce the risk of injury to bees while allowing efficient clearing of frames, hive edges and equipment. Bristles are embedded into a sturdy wooden base intended to withstand regular outdoor use in an apiary setting.
A smooth wooden handle offers a balanced grip for easy maneuvering, especially when accessing deep frames. The brushes are lightweight for extended use and designed to limit loose fibers, reducing the chance of stray bristles getting into honey or comb.
These multi-purpose hive brushes are suitable for hobbyist and small commercial beekeepers who need gentle tools for inspections, frame clearing and light cleaning duties around the hive. They can also be kept as spares or shared among several hives for faster workflow.
Package included:
3 x 15.75-inch wooden bee brushes (wood handle with hair/bristle heads)
Note: Please allow a small variance in listed size because measurements are taken manually.

Not impressed
Usable in a pinch but not outstanding. I probably won't reorder.

Bristles shed quickly
Soft at first but the bristles started falling out after a few uses. All three lost hairs around the same time.

Standard brush, good value
Does the same job as other brushes I've used. Decent quality and I'll buy this set again.

Handy three-pack
I keep misplacing brushes, so having three means one is always available. The bristles are soft and safe for the bees.

Essential for small apiaries
With four hives these are indispensable. They calm the bees and reduce stings; the three-pack is handy if tools get chewed or misplaced.

Returned due to poor quality
I sent them back — bristles kept falling out while working the hives, so I couldn't keep them.
