Beekeeping Equipment
Recently we started selling basic beekeeping equipment. We started out with the basic equipment a new beekeeper would need, and are expanding from there. We will be expanding our stock and if there's something you don't see, contact us and we can probably get it for you. If you're anywhere near Medina we can help you save on shipping costs or a trip to a far away supply house. Prices are subject to change at any time, therefore the prices listed here may not be up to date.
