British National Eke – 90mm – New Zealand Pine – Knot Free – Flat Packed – Includes Screws – Hive Feeder Spacer

Make room for feeding, treatments or queen introductions with BEEtastic’s 90mm British National Eke – strong, simple and built from knot-free New Zealand Pine.

This hive eke is 90mm high – giving you ample space for a wide range of internal hive feeders, fondant trays, Apiguard treatments or temporary setups. It’s flat packed for convenience and includes all screws for immediate assembly.

Made from knot-free New Zealand Pine, it offers a smooth finish and precise fit, unlike cheaper alternatives that can warp or crack over time. It’s ideal for beekeepers who want flexibility in their hive without compromising on build quality.

Why New Zealand Pine?

• Knot-free and easy to work with – stronger joints, no weak points
• Chinese Pine often has sap pockets and knots, making it unpredictable and messy
• UK Fir is brittle, and more likely to split or twist
• Farmed Cedar is soft and dents easily, with lower durability unless treated

Key Features:

• Fits all British National hives
• 90mm height – ideal for most contact feeders, fondant trays and treatments
• Flat packed – includes screws for quick assembly
• New Zealand Pine – sustainable, knot-free and long-lasting

Like any hive equipment, we recommend treating with preserve or paint to maximise the working life. Once treated, New Zealand Pine beats many of the characteristics of British Red Cedar (which is typically fast-grown and felled young making it softer and less durable).
