Basic Beekeeping Equipment

Before you can start beekeeping you need some basic beekeeping equipment. What you need and what you end up buying depends a lot on how serious you are, and how much money you have of course.

Here is a short list of some of the items which I think you should start with. Different beekeepers will have their own view about the most basic equipment, but beekeepers are like that, opinionated!

	Smoker
Gloves
Bee Suit
Regular Hive Tool
J Type Hive Tool
Bee Brush
Bee Hive

There's almost no limit to the amount of beekeeping equipment you can buy to set yourself up, but there's plenty of time for you to decide what you need, what you want later and what you'll probably never need.

Leave the Basic Beekeeping Equipment page and look for more equipment.
