Beekeeping

can someone give me a list of supplies needed to bee keep

Helmet and screen to protect the face and eyes from stings. Padded Gloves, Coveralls and Boots to prevent stings.

A hive with HEALTHY bees and wax foundation for making honey comb. Diseased or unhealthy bees attack you, and won't produce much honey. A smoker to calm the bees when opening the Hive. A Frame tool that looks like a small flat pry bar for opening hives and removing frames containing comb. A feed jar and lid that fits in the hive opening for giving antibiotics and feeding the bees during cool spring days.

You can melt the filled honey comb on the stove and let it cool, the wax will float on top of the honey, and can be picked off when it cools and hardens into solid chunk of wax. Then pour the honey into jars.

Or you can buy a separator and a honey comb knife to spin the honey out of the comb. This is expensive, but helps the bees since they can refill the used comb. This saves the bees time making new comb and you will get more honey each summer.

Lots of containers to put your honey in. Good Luck.
