Bee Central

There are four main things that a person needs in order to have their own hive.

1) Hive body, which usually looks like a large box, but is specialty made for frames to fit into it.

2) Frames, which fit inside the hive body and are what honey bees live, store, and hatch brood in.

3) A smoker, which is a large cylinder which contains a small fire in order to make smoke, smoke calms the bees down.

4) Hive tool, which is a tool specificlaly made to pry apart the bee frames if they get stuck together with wax.

5) Some would say this is the most important part of having bees, wearing protection which usually includes a bee suit and gloves.
