CAP Products Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 83 671 754 279), trading as Aluen CAP Australia, is run by the same team behind Lyson Beekeeping Supplies Australia. For over eight years, we have worked closely with Australian beekeepers, supplying quality equipment, technical support, and practical knowledge to help them manage productive, healthy hives.
Who we are
- The team has a long history of supporting hobbyist, sideline, and commercial beekeepers through Lyson Beekeeping Supplies, with a strong focus on reliable gear and honest advice.
- Day to day, the business is built around helping beekeepers solve real‑world problems in their apiaries, not just selling products.
Support for the beekeeping community
- We actively support beekeeping clubs, associations, and community events as part of standard business practice, because a strong industry starts with strong grassroots organisations.
- This support includes sponsorships, education, and practical help that keeps local clubs and training activities running.
Our focus: a strong, sustainable industry
- Our goal is to help build a resilient, future‑focused beekeeping industry in Australia, where beekeepers have access to the tools, knowledge, and treatments they need to care for their bees.
- Every major product we bring in is selected with bee health, beekeeper safety, and long‑term sustainability in mind.
Responding to varroa destructor
- Since the beginning of the varroa destructor incursion in New South Wales in 2022, our team has been working on ways to support Australian beekeepers facing this new challenge.
- From the early stages of the response, we have been focused on identifying and facilitating access to treatment options that fit Australian conditions and regulatory requirements.
Bringing Aluen CAP to Australia
- We have worked closely with the relevant regulatory bodies to make Aluen CAP available to Australian beekeepers under an emergency permit, with full registration progressing.
- Aluen CAP is an organic treatment based on oxalic acid that is designed to be tough on varroa mites while remaining gentle on bees when used according to label and permit directions.
- Used correctly, the product is intended as a residue‑free solution inside the hive, supporting both bee health and honey quality, while giving beekeepers another effective tool in their varroa management program.
Our commitment to beekeepers
- We are committed to ongoing education and support so beekeepers understand not just how to use Aluen CAP, but how it fits into broader integrated pest management strategies.
- By combining our experience from Lyson Beekeeping Supplies with our work on Aluen CAP, we aim to provide Australian beekeepers with practical, science‑based, and accessible solutions for many seasons to come.
