Harpelec
High voltage electric generators for electric harps against Asian hornets
All our electrical modules are compatible with all harps (SANVE, LA TIENDA DEL APICULTOR, APISUDEST, NATURAPI, ICKO, ADIEUFRELONS, ZAPLEFRELON, SHOPAPICULTURE, trestle harp, frame harp, etc.)
Harpelec, anti-hornet harp energizer, High voltage generators , Boosters , energizers, anti-hornets
What type of Harpelec generator:
B2+ or BS?
The choice will be made based on the number of hornets attacking the hive,
the BS having a higher frequency of electric arcs,
choose this one if your hive has more than 5 hornets attacking simultaneously.

Option N (day/night)
B2+N or BSN?
Option N corresponds to the additional automatic Day/Night function which allows the generator to turn off at nightfall and turn back on at dawn.
This allows it especially if you use a battery to save its charge.
For the choice between B2+ or BS, see the paragraph above.

Typical diagram of 4 harps powered by a generator connected to the 1st and a booster to the 4th. When the insect touches 2 wires, the generator and the booster discharge onto it.
The photovoltaic panel will have a power of 50 watts in 12 or 18 volts for good efficiency. The photovoltaic panel is connected directly to the high voltage generator.
Example of a photovoltaic panel: Link to Amazon, (click on the photo of the panel)
The panel must be facing south, at a 40° angle towards the sky.

Typical diagram for 8 harps powered by
1 single 50 watt / 12 volt or 18 volt panel, 2 B2+ generators and 2 boosters
Example of a photovoltaic panel: Link to Amazon
Connections between harps on estimate according to length, see catalog page
The booster is always placed at the point furthest from the generator

Example 4 hives and 2 harps seen from above

Diagram with battery and charge controller
If you want to use a battery, you must add a charge controller which will stop charging when the battery is full.

************************************
Recommended positioning of the harps in relation to the hive,
To complete the defense of the hive, wrap the base or hive support with 5mm mesh netting, and completely wrap the hive with chicken wire (mesh approximately 3cm) in the form of a bell, so that it can be easily removed for visits.
Place a drowning tray under the harps, to be filled either with soapy water with glycerin, or with water and cheap cooking oil, the oil, lighter than water, is positioned on the surface, prevents evaporation, prevents bees from coming to drink there and sticks the hornets that fall into it.

PROTECTION OF CHICKEN COOPS
Wiring diagram for electric fences
anti foxes and badgers ( see the video )
Harpelec provides you with the high voltage generator,
and if you wish,
the pack with the generator + the booster and the charge controller
For optimum protection, we recommend this pack and a photovoltaic panel (link to merchant site)
