For harvesting your honey, you will need a container (or several jars) to collect your honey. It’s a good idea to have some extras on hand – you may be surprised by how much honey comes out!
A bee suit and gloves, or at least a bee veil, are important to have on hand in case your bees get aggressive – it’s always best to bee prepared.
Aside from harvesting, you’ll need to open your hive to inspect it for health and general maintenance as usual, for which you will need a bee suit, smoker and hive tool. You can purchase these from our shop.
If you are new to beekeeping, it’s a great idea to link up with an experienced beekeeper to learn how to care for your bees.
