4-H Honey Bee Youth Project Book II -- Veils, Smokers, and Supers: Equipment of Beekeepers | One lazy afternoon you find yourself looking across a field of
flowers. The sun is warm and the breeze rustles through the
grasses beneath your feet. Suddenly, at the edge of the field
you see a lone figure hunched over a white box. The person
is dressed from head to toe in a white, spaceman-looking
jumpsuit. You begin to get nervous as you peer closer and
notice a helmet covering his head. His gloved hands hold
a strange-looking instrument spewing smoke from some
internal, smoldering fire. You do not know it, but you are
about to witness a robbery by this alien creature. Should
you call the police? Should you take matters into your own
hands? No! Instead, grab a container and prepare to get some
honey! There’s a beekeeper hard at work! |

4-H Honey Bee Leaders Guide Book II -- Veils, Smokers, and Supers: Equipment of Beekeepers | With our understanding of honey bee biology and colony
structure, we can begin to investigate the process of rearing
bees for ourselves. To begin, we need a good understanding
of the equipment we will need and how to use
it. We will need to know the parts of the beehive and how
to assemble them properly to facilitate bee rearing and
honey production. Finally, we will need to handle bees
within the hive. The Honey bee Project Book 2 provides
the 4-H member with specific information about beekeeping,
bee handling, and hive inspection. |
