Handy Items

Numerous pages exist about the equipment new beekeepers need to start beekeeping. This isn’t that list, its the items NOT listed on those lists that I found useful.

• A paint multi-tool can be used in place of a lost hive tool example
• Head sweatband(s). Keeps the sweat out of your eyes when squinting at frames.
• Phone stylus: Useful for taking pictures on your phone, and easily lost, buy a multi-pack
• EpiPen: In case of severe allergic reactions.
• Equipment organization: Can be a toolbox, or just a bucket. I use old cat litter buckets.
