Beekeeping equipment includes various tools and gear essential for maintaining healthy bee colonies. The most important items are the hive, where bees live and store honey, and the smoker, which calms bees during inspections. Other tools include protective clothing, such as gloves and veils, to keep beekeepers safe from stings, and honey extractors for harvesting honey without damaging the comb. Additional equipment may include bee feeders to provide food during scarce times, supers for extra honey storage, and tools like hive tools for lifting frames and scraping wax. Each piece of equipment plays a vital role in successful beekeeping.
