Beekeepers equipment, what are they? If you have been looking for information about
this subject, I can tell you that several searches have been done around this topic.
Thus, this article will evolve around two useful beekeeping tools. However, before we
dive into the subject, I would like to tell you that it is normal to have questions when one
is a newbie or just when there are questions to be asked. In fact, after visiting a forum, I
realized that there was a sense of guilt associated to the asking of some questions.
Don’t feel that way. In general everyone begins as a newbie. With that being said, Let's
look at two beekeepers equipment that could be beneficial.
This beekeepers' equipment is called the smoker
The smoker is one of these tools that are quite beneficial. In fact, going for work on the
hive without a smoker can be risky. In fact, a person should be able to do whatever
action needs to be done around the beehive with a minimum amount of stings. The
smoker is one of the tools that can provide a certain level of safety to the beekeeper.
What does the smoker actually do? In fact, the smoker calms down the bees making it
easier for you to inspect the hive for instance. One can imagine that going to the hive for
an inspection while the bees are agitated is not likely to be stress free. But what does
the smoker look like? The smoker is a closed kettle with a tall body and it has an inlet to
permit the oxygen to get in. But, how does a smoker work? For the smoker to work
there should be burning chips of wood inside the tool. Then by using the bellows, the
smoke is created. The smoke will exit from the sprout.
This one is called the "hive tool"
What is the hive tool? The hive tool helps the beekeeper remove propolis and stuck
woodwork from the hive. There are often bright colors on hive tools. The choice of these
colors can be explained by the fact that a brightly colored hive tool is more susceptible
to be recognized if it is among other tools or on the grass. What does the hive tool look
like? The hive tool is made of two parts. These parts are the handle and a wedge/blade
part. A decent hive tool could be purchased for less than 25 dollars. This being, the
price of this tool varies with the metal used to fabricate it. An advice concerning this tool
would be to choose one that has a wedge made with stainless steel.
There are in fact other tools that can be added to this list. However, the beekeepers
equipment mentioned in this article are among the essential ones. Effectively, if one
gets a beehive and a colony, a smoker should be purchased. The beekeeper should be
cautious due to the fact that bees can inflict pain. A smoker helps one have a certain

from parts of the hive.
