first purchases for beekeeping

(1/3) > >>

BigRog:
OK
Made my first purchases for Beekeeping
Beekeeping for Dummies (Great cover pic John!)
Sent out a money order for a copy of Beekeeping in the Midwest ($7.00 incl shipping)
A 4' x 2' piece of 1/8" hardware cloth.
 Beth how big a piece did you need?

golfpsycho:
Kind of hard to see through a book when working your bees.  Might I suggest a veil and smoker?  Hope things are improving on your end and you get the bees picked up soon

BigRog:
Those are the next two buys
I am trying to figure out which smoker to get
Is there really that much of a difference

golfpsycho:
I don't know if you need to spend the extra money for the stainless steel model.  If you had a whole grundel of hives and were constantly working them, it's a small price to pay.  But since you will probably only be in your colony once per day.. bahahahahahahaha.... oh heck.. get the top of the line if you can afford it.  It will last a lifetime

BigRog:
I almost forgot
I sent out a money order for a bee brush too!
