After the euphoria of yesterday (see previous post) I have suddenly realised that apart from my shiny new hive tool, smoker and bee suit I do not have a lot of other 'bit's and pieces' in my tool kit. Noticed when I went out with my mentor yesterday that he had a a whole lot of 'bit's and pieces' with him.
Any ideas of the a usual set up when visiting the out apiary.
Also now that I have bees should I be stocking up with anything in case they need treating, mites etc.
And finally based on having three colonies by June what spares equipment wise would be recommended.
