If you’ve recently purchased a hive, try starting with a beekeeping starter kit that includes the essential beekeeping supplies needed to begin your sweet hobby. Beekeeping equipment like high-quality bee jackets and gloves will give you the protection you need while allowing maximum flexibility and breathability to stay comfortable. Some kits may be tool based and include a hive tool, smoker, and bee brush, which are essentials for any serious hobbyist. Beekeeping starter kits may also be box-focused and have pre-made and easy-to-assemble boxes with bottom boards, inner and outer covers, deep brood boxes, and honey supers to collect honey.
