Aloha,
A family of honey bees moved into some yard art in my yard (a rusty old landrover) and I'm considering supplying them with a cleaner home than their current one...the back end of the underneath side of a rusty car just doesn't sound too yummy! I've always wanted to host an apiary, and what a great gift from the universe!
I've done a lot of reading, and I'm hoping to locate some used bee equipment for reasonable price/trade. Here are a few things i would consider:
bee smoker
bee hood
bee suit
Hives or hive pieces (supers/cover/brood box/trap door thingy)
Anything else?
Please message me if you have any info i should read (maybe i missed something) or gear you want to get rid of...
Love,
Erin

Re: I love bees! used Bee equipment please?
Tue, April 14, 2009 - 8:05 PMThere is a guy ( the bee guy )
who lives down near the end of the road - ko'ha'la - where the old black sands beach used to be ( real nearby to it ) who may be able to help you
He sells honey. From a bicycle , too . Pahoa \ Puna side . 1 / 2 mile this side of where Verna's ® restaurant used to be at the end of the road
Look for the ' honey ' sign . He's come over my place in Leilani to rescue honey bees on occasion . They like my trees
If you purchase honey form him bring your own container . He appreciates that •

Re: I love bees! used Bee equipment please?
Wed, April 15, 2009 - 5:18 PMThanks! Next time I'm down in the kalapana neighborhood i'll stop by. The guy that sells honey at the hilo farmers market didn't know of anyone looking to get rid of used equipment, unfortunately...and he said it is hard to find here. Well, i'll keep putting it out there.
Cheers! -
