Our Available Beekeeping Gear

Sourced from leading beekeeping equipment manufacturers, our beekeeping equipment for sale is designed to ensure the safety of beekeepers and facilitate efficient beekeeping practices.

Our beekeeping equipment sale encompasses:

Hive Tools – Essential for prying open beehive boxes, lifting frames, scraping off excess beeswax and separating hive components without causing damage.
Smokers – Emit cool smoke that gently calms bees during hive inspections. These tools help reduce defensive behaviour, making it easier for beekeepers to work inside the hive.

In addition, we can provide you with sugar shakers, alcohol wash kits and sticky mats for detecting external parasites, spray pumps for assisting in collecting and controlling swarms, latches for holding bee hives together, double or triple bristled brushes for brushing bees off queen cells, frames, and much more.

How to Light a Bee Smoker

Gather smoker fuel pellets, dry fuel like newspaper or cardboard, crumpling in into loose balls and placing them at the bottom of the smoker. Light the fuel from the bottom, allowing it to catch fire. Pump the bellows gently to fan the flames and produce smoke.

How to Use a Bee Smoker

Light a fuel source like newspaper or cardboard in the smoker's canister. Pump the bellows to fan the flames and create smoke. Direct the smoke towards the hive entrance and interior to calm the bees during inspections, making it easier to work with them.
