Africanized bees
are a fact of life in
our area, so we take
protective gear seriously.
We never work bees without
a lit smoker and a level
of protective clothing
appropriate for the
temperament of the hives
that we are working.
We urge all of you who
work with or around
Africanized bees to
suit up carefully and
before setting foot
in the bee yard. We
always place a strip
or two of duct tape
where the veil zipper
closes to prevent bees
from getting under the
veil.
We encourage
you to visit our physical
shop in Seguin, as we
add more items weekly.
We also have experienced
beekeepers on hand and
ready to answer your
beekeeping questions.
Come for the equipment.
Stay awhile for friendship
and conversation.
We will ship the items
listed here unless otherwise
noted.
