Making beekeeping easier and more fun!
We remember those bee-ginner jitters. Beekeeping isn't easy, so we've put together a Hive Butler tote full of our recommended tools and products to make your start easier and more successful!
What is included?
Bucket Honey Gate
An easy way to store your honey harvest is 5 gal buckets. Here's a honey gate for you to install in any food-grade bucket.
Honey Bottles And Caps
2 dozen 1-lb PET honey bottles with caps. Use these to help store your honey!
Bucket Strainer
Use this strainer to filter large particles out of your honey using a standard 5-Gallon bucket.
A Smoker And Fuel
Everyone needs one--and we selected our favorite fuel that burns slow and strong.
Hive Tool
There are lots of hive tools around. This is our favorite one--able to do all the things, without being too big or heavy. Hook, pry, chop, dice and julienne (okay, just kidding there). Try it out. I think you'll agree.
Bee Brush
The bee brush comes in handy, to help larger numbers of bees get off the edge of the boxes, or into boxes when that is necessary. Ours is a real horsehair brush, not a nylon bristle. Wooden handle, horsehair bristles.
Super DFM
A probiotic for bees! Improving and maintaining gut health can make all the difference. With monthly treatment, you'll notice the difference.
Dessicant Packet
Use this packet to control moisture in your hives throughout the winter.
Spacing Tool
Running 9 frames in your supers will make for bigger honey frames, and easier uncapping. BUT, they've got to be positioned correctly to prevent wonky comb. This frame spacer makes your life easier.
Queen Clip
The queen clip can save you a lot of trouble. When you see her, guide her in and keep her secure whether in a swarm or just wandering the frames.
Varroa Mite test kit
Don't let varroa mites ruin your bees. Test regularly and treat. It doesn't get easier than Easy Check.
A field Journal
Keeping records is critical to success. Rain-rite paper makes it work no matter the weather.
Bee-Esentials
Great pictures, and instructional text from industry leader, Larry Connor.
Smoker
A smoker to keep bees calm when you're working in the hive.
Pro Tip: Never set a hot smoker on your Hive Butler, it will melt the plastic!
