Find all the high-quality beekeeping tools you need. We stock all the essentials from hive tools to scratchers and scrapers, to spacers and cleaning equipment.
Maintaining your hive requires the right tools, and the hive tool is arguably the beekeeper’s most indispensable companion. Think of the hive tool as your essential multi-purpose lever, scraper, pry bar, and cleaner, tackling everything from gently separating sticky hive boxes and lifting frames to scraping away excess wax, propolis, and other debris. To keep your frames organized and maintain proper bee space, frame spacers ensure consistent distances, while a bee brush helps move bees without harming them during inspections and honey harvests. For a secure grip when handling frames, especially during inspections, a frame grip can be a lifesaver. Beyond the essential hive tools, successful beekeeping relies on other key equipment to ensure both your safety and the well-being of your colony Your Beehive: At Betterbee, we offer a wide selection of bee hives, components, and kits to establish and grow your apiary. The hive, typically a Langstroth system with hive bodies and frames, provides the structure for your colony to live, raise brood, and store honey. Choosing the right hive setup is the foundation for successful beekeeping. Protective Clothing: Your safety is paramount when working with bees. Betterbee provides a variety of high-quality beekeeping jackets, full suits, veils, and gloves to match your comfort level and the temperament of your hives. Investing in well-fitting protective gear is essential to minimize stings and confidently manage your colonies. Smoker: A crucial tool for safe hive management is the bee smoker. We stock durable stainless steel smokers that, when used with our bee-friendly fuels like natural cotton or pine needles, produce calming, cool smoke. This gentle method helps to ease the bees during inspections, making your interactions less stressful for everyone.
