Want To Buy Bee keeping basics

Need a hood/helmet, bee jacket, smoker, hive tool and gloves. Let me know if you have some to get rid of. Thanks

I have a bee trap in my back yard that a beekeeper friend put out there to gather another hive for his operation.
That’s as close as I get to bee keeping.

Honestly Amazon has the best deals on these. Should be able to get it all new for around $50. I used a $15 Amazon bee jacket for years, but I do recommend getting a vented one in this climate. Vented start at around $60

If you wanna go really low end a tubes suit and a mosquedo veil will work. I dont usually wear gloves outside of harvest season. They make you climaxed which kills more bees which pisses the bees off more as they release a pheromone when they get cruahed.

I can get one of those dialed 3D printed. Might do that

I got a jacket and zippered hood today. Should have ordered a full kit. Guess I’ll have to piece it together now

Painters 5 in one tool works pretty good for a hive tool. Don't bother getting the bee brush it just makes bees mad. If you want a good smoker you can't beat the dadant 10" smoker. A lot of beeks use nitrile gloves.

This should work. J tool is best bee tool. I use about half the stuff it comes with buy ymmv. J tool, capping scratcher, gloves and smoker are all essential. Frame lifter is nice when you are new. .

I actually got a couple long hives for free. So I’m not starting out with a traditional hive. @OKBPS is helping out a bunch. He took one of them and captured a swarm. We just traded hives at that point. Big thanks to him and his wife for their knowledge.

Are they top bar or the long langstroffs?
