Kits are the ideal starting point for an aspiring beekeeper. Kits contain basic beekeeping tools such as the hive foundation, protective wear, educational material, and beekeeping equipment.
Woodenware is a term describing each component of a beehive, traditionally made of wood. A beehive houses the colony, and a hive body contains wooden frames hold wax honeycombs. Frames allow the beekeeper to remove and handle the honeycombs within them.
Deep hive boxes are generally a space for the queen to lay her eggs and for larvae to develop. They are the largest area of undisrupted comb.
With a height of 6 5/8", medium frames weigh about 2/3 of what deep supers do. They are therefore gaining popularity with hobbyist beekeepers, and all-medium frame hives are not uncommon.
It is vital to properly equip yourself when working around the hive. Some essentials include a hive tool to pry and detach the honeycomb, a smoker to calm the bees, and veil to protect from facial stings. Gloves are essential for beginners with shaky hands and a bee brush is helpful for gently removing bees from the comb.
Safety around your hive is very important. We therefore carry a wide variety of protective clothing to keep you covered from head to toe. Our products range in size and we carry childrens' products, as well.
