Care of your Rhinoguard Beekeeping Suit

Properly store your beekeeping suit by hanging it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation. Clean the suit regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions to remove bee pheromones and reduce the risk of attracting bees. Ensure it’s fully dry before storing to prevent mould and mildew.

Preparation Guide - Assembly Buzzbee Wooden Beehive

Assembling the Wooden Beehive with Wood Glue and Screws
Start by following the assembly instructions provided in the Buzzbee Langstroth Assembly Manual. Begin by laying out all the wooden components and identifying the pieces. Apply a high-quality wood glue to the joints and edges where the wooden parts connect. Align the pieces carefully and secure them with screws, following the recommended screw placement in the manual. Ensure each joint is tight and properly aligned to create a sturdy, square structure.

Securing the Hive for Durability
After screwing and gluing all parts together, double-check that the beehive is stable and level. The combination of wood glue and screws ensures a durable and long-lasting assembly. Allow the glue to cure completely as per the manufacturer's instructions before moving on to the finishing touches, such as sanding any rough edges or cleaning up excess glue.

Painting the Exterior of a Paradise Honey Polystyrene Beehive
After the assembly of the Buzzbee Langstroth wooden hive use a UV-protective, water-based exterior paint to protect it from weathering. Apply the paint evenly to the exterior surfaces, using at least two or three coats for thorough coverage. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next, ensuring that the hive is fully dry before placing it outdoors to provide long-lasting protection against the elements.
