Beekeeping Starter Kit free shipping
Everything you need to get started with your first Warre Hive, easily bundled together. The Warre hive beginner kit is made up of our most popular Warre hive configuration, plus the products most frequently bought alongside it by new beekeepers. Buying this system saves you at the very least $40 from the things bought individually. The Warre Hive, beekeeping beginner kit, All-natural Beekeeping with the Warre Hive book, and tung-oil can certainly be purchased separately unless you need the whole system.
- Warre containers measure 14" large by 14" very long by 8.25" deep. Cardboard boxes are produced from 1-inch thick Western Red Cedar or 1-inch thick sugar pine.

Jackets must not fit snugly. You will need some room within the coat should a honey bee find yourself inside with you!
Glove Sizing
Gloves dimensions are decided by calculating throughout the knuckles, excluding the flash (I.E. the widest point of hand). You prefer your gloves to suit snugly given that leather will stretch slightly in the long run.
