Different people in the industry have different preferences when it comes to equipment and protective clothing. Some might say, you only need a veil and an overall - that works. A full bee suit with a veil works too. It depends on your wallet and your level of safety while at work with bees. Preference should always be second to safety when dealing with bees. Our equipment is designed by a beekeeper and is of high quality. Feel free to request products not on our list here to be made available...

We Also Recommend this... Queen Excluders
Koningin Uitsluiters / Separators - essential for keeping the queen bee out of the honey
Queen excluders are used to keep the queen bee from being able to lay eggs inside the super chamber where the honey is stored.
The queen excluder is sold separately to the bee hive and is very useful when it comes time to harvest honey.
The queen will lay eggs only in the brood [broei kas] chamber if she cannot access the super [heuning kas] chamber above when a queen excluder is used to prevent the queen bee from getting through.
The benefit of the queen excluder is that when it comes to harvesting honey from the super chamber there are no eggs or larvae in the honeycomb and ONLY ripe honey is ready for harvesting and filtering.
Together the Bee hive and Queen excluder make a great team!
