Your Trusted Partner in Beekeeping and Varroa Solutions

At Beequip, we supply innovative, top-quality beekeeping equipment to hobbyists and professionals across New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific, and Asia. From hiveware to tools, treatments, and more — our extensive range is backed by expert advice and fast delivery, direct to your door.

Our Story
Beequip began in a small warehouse with founder Russell Smith’s passion for bees, which started in the 1980s. With a background in engineering, Russell aimed to bring modern, practical solutions to Kiwi beekeepers. In 2015, we launched as the exclusive NZ distributor for Technosetbee, making our debut at the National Bee Conference in Taupo — and quickly becoming a trusted name in the industry.

Growth & Innovation
Since then, we’ve grown from a two-person team to over ten, expanding our product range and facilities to meet growing demand. Our customers include backyard beekeepers, queen breeders, and large commercial operators.

Varroa Specialists
Beequip is a recognised leader in Varroa management, offering proven solutions like InstantVap, Apisolis, Swedish cloths, and more. We stay up to date with global research and field-test everything we offer — helping beekeepers protect their hives with confidence.

Looking Ahead
As we continue to grow, our focus remains on innovation, research, and exceptional service. Whether you're just starting out or managing thousands of hives, Beequip is here to support your beekeeping journey — every step of the way.
