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!

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 •  h t h hope this helps ∞ Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:05:18 GMT http://bigislandlove.tribe.net/thread/275c402a-175d-4e18-b397-53867b153051#62204d5e-b05b-4b7b-9c38-6e4c1259d735 St0shEr 2009-04-15T03:05:18Z http://bigislandlove.tribe.net/thread/275c402a-175d-4e18-b397-53867b153051#03da8d97-e410-4890-879a-a475177ba5ae 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...
