Whether you want to start bee keeping as a hobby or as a business, you must have the proper bee keeping equipment. Bee keeping is a fun hobby that can also provide you with an additional source of income. You can collect the honey for your own use or sell it. You can make candles from beeswax. Of course, you will need a hive for your bees to live in. The beehive is a wooden frame box that contains multiple parts. The outer cover must be weather resistant in order to protect your bees. Your hive should also have an inner cover to act as insulation. The inside of your hive will have important pieces of honey bee equipment called honey supers. The bees use these removable frames for storing honey. When you are ready to harvest honey, you simply slip out the frames. The beehive will have a lower compartment that contains honey supers also but these are for the bees to use to raise their young and store honey to be used as food. A hive stand is required in order to keep the bottom of the hive dry and to provide insulation. Read the rest of this entry » Mail this post
