Pairs well with
Take the guesswork out of treating your Apimaye 10 frame hives with the Lorob Bees Solid Billet Aluminum Adapter (MADE IN USA). Designed to interface directly with the front slider entrances on 10-frame Apimaye boxes, this adapter creates a secure, heat-managed connection for compatible InstantVap models.
Built from solid billet aluminum, the adapter acts as a durable heat sink and helps keep the hive body safely below melting temperatures during use. It also supports hands-free operation, allowing the InstantVap unit to rest securely in place while you prepare the next treatment.
Key Features
Zero Melt Risk
The solid billet aluminum design helps absorb and manage heat, reducing the risk of heat damage to your Apimaye hive during treatment.
Hands-Free Operation
The adapter supports the full weight of the InstantVap unit, so you do not have to hold it in place or hunch over the hive during treatment.
Direct Slider Entrance Fit
Designed to connect through the front slider entrances on compatible 10-frame Apimaye hive boxes.
Durable Aluminum Construction
Machined from solid billet aluminum for strength, stability, and long-term use.
Fitment Specs
Designed for:
InstantVap Compact and InstantVap Turbo. Both seat against the adapter's stops, so the unit sits at the correct depth and stays put.
InstantVap Lite — works with care:
The stops weren't cut for the Lite. Its rounded, narrower front face can feel unsteady in the adapter, and it can be pushed further into the hive than it should go. Seat it gently and don't insert it past the point where a Compact or Turbo would stop.
Hive Compatibility:
10-frame Apimaye boxes with front slider entrances
Compatible with both 10 Frame star (reversible entrance reducer) and 10 Frame circle slider styles
NOT Compatible With:
7-frame or 8-frame Apimaye boxes
Will Not Fit:
InstantVap Original — the design of the gun prevents it seating in the adapter.
Use Tip
Before attaching the adapter, make sure the hive entrance holes are clear of propolis, wax, and debris. A clean entrance helps ensure proper vapor flow and prevents clogging during treatment.
