The BB501 Full Suit is made in the UK using a premium cotton mix. It is suitable for our climate and is machine washable. There is a choice of rubber or leather gloves with gauntlets - usually complete beginners go for the rubber for 'easier feel'. The smoker is a 10cm in diameter, has a guard, insert and hanging hook. The high quality brush is used to gently remove the bees from the frames. The hive tool is made from stainless steel and is used to manipulate the frames in the hive.
Canadian Western Red Cedar
Canadian Western Red Cedar is the provincial tree of British Columbia, (Canada) & can live to thousands of years old. A chemical substance is found in mature trees and serves as a natural fungicide thereby preventing the wood from rotting. This effect lasts around a century even after the tree is felled. The soft red-brown timber has a tight, straight grain and few knots. It is valued for its distinct appearance, aroma, and its high natural resistance to decay.
