Basic Kit
Robust EU Beekeeping suit. It is suitable for our climate, is machine washable and doesn't shrink. There is a choice of rubber or leather gloves with gauntlets - usually complete beginners go for the rubber for an 'easier feel'. The smoker is 10cm in diameter, has a guard, insert and hanging hook and is used to calm the bees.. The high quality brush is used to gently remove the bees from the frames. The hive tool is made from stainless steel and is a multi-use tool, mainly for removing frames for inspection.
The polystyrene hive has many benefits over a wooden version. It’s made from a very high density material, 100g/litre - up to 3 times stronger than what is used for packaging. Its lightweight and durable meaning you get a strong, robust hive that will last 30+ years. No assembly needed, just a splash of masonry paint on the outside. Its insulation properties also makes it ideal as less bees are required to maintain the heat for effective brood rearing, this helps improve overwintering and early Spring build up.
