Beekeeping equipment includes various tools and gear essential for maintaining healthy bee colonies. Key items are the hive, where bees live and store honey, and the smoker, which calms bees during inspections. Other important tools include protective clothing to shield beekeepers from stings and honey extractors for harvesting honey without damaging the comb. Additionally, beekeeping tools like hive tools help manage the hive by prying apart frames and scraping off excess wax. Feeding equipment may be used to provide sugar syrup to bees during times of low nectar flow. Proper equipment ensures both the safety of the beekeeper and the well-being of the bees.
