Technical Specs at a Glance

 

Engineered for Efficiency and Honey Purity

Frustration from inconsistent heat is a thing of the past. We designed the BuzzBeeEquip Thermostatic Honey Cutter for the beekeeper who demands reliability and simplicity. The knife operates within a scientifically determined optimal temperature range of 140°C to 160°C. This specific heat level is the sweet spot: it melts wax cappings on contact for a silky-smooth cut but is precisely controlled to prevent caramelizing or darkening your honey, preserving its delicate flavor and quality.

The intuitive digital controller features a simple “SET” button and a clear display, removing guesswork and letting you focus on the task. Its 250mm blade, forged from hygienic, food-grade stainless steel, is the perfect width for uncapping Langstroth frames with efficiency and control. You’ll appreciate the balanced feel in your hand, with an insulated handle that stays comfortable even after hours in the honey house. Get ready for your fastest, cleanest uncapping season yet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I adjust the temperature outside the 140-160°C range? This model is designed to operate exclusively within this optimal range, which prevents honey damage while ensuring effective uncapping. The “SET” button allows you to fine-tune the temperature within this specific window.

Q2: Is the handle made of wood? While it has a classic look, the handle is actually a modern, heat-resistant polymer. We engineered it this way for superior durability, better heat insulation, and easier cleaning than traditional wood.

Q3: How long is the power cord? The power cord is 1.3 meters (approximately 4.2 feet) long, providing adequate reach for most honey house setups.

Q4: What is the difference between this and a fully adjustable knife? This thermostatic model is designed for simplicity and safety. By locking the temperature into the ideal range, it eliminates the risk of accidentally scorching your honey, making it perfect for both new and experienced beekeepers who value efficiency.

Q5: How do I clean the knife? First, ensure the knife is unplugged and has cooled down completely. Then, use a damp cloth to wipe away any residual honey and wax. Do not immerse the electrical components in water.

Q6: What type of stainless steel is used for the blade? We use certified food-grade stainless steel to ensure the blade is corrosion-resistant, durable, and does not impart any taste or contaminants to your honey.

Q7: Will the 51mm blade width work for deep frames? Yes, the 51mm (2-inch) blade width is highly effective. It allows for excellent control and can uncap a standard Langstroth deep frame in just two or three smooth passes.

Q8: What does the 1-year warranty cover? The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the core functional components, which include the internal heating element and the digital thermostatic controller, under normal operational use.

Q9: Do you offer discounts for bulk purchases by beekeeping associations? Absolutely. We provide special wholesale pricing for beekeeping clubs and associations. Please contact our B2B sales team with your estimated volume for a customized quote.
