Here is a list of the supplies I sell for beekeepers. Please note that there may be a waiting period for some items, since I order in bulk and am sold out a lot. I typically wait until I have an order for several units before I buy.

UPDATE. I have decided to stop selling anything except complete beehives with bees, and bee products such as honey, pollen, propolis tincture, and wax. That is the joy of retirement, you get to choose what you want to do!

Complete working hive, $295. Complete beehives, ten frame deep box with bees, queen, pollen, and honey, $295. Please go to the Tulsa Craigslist, and search for bees or beehive to see my listing and more details. These are available in the Spring but you have to get your order in early, typically before February or even earlier because I get booked up solid.

I have been ordering various supplies directly from China. It is a fact that most beekeeping suppliers, like MannLake, Dadant, etc. order most of their supplies from China. What is not commonly known is how much they pay.

Typically, you can buy a very good, stainless, professional sized smoker with heatguard for about 6 bucks. You can buy a j-hook hive tool for about ONE dollar. Shipping is very high for me, but for big buyers it is minimal. One might ask why hive tools are so expensive when they cost buyers about one dollar…..

Repeat Update. I have decided to stop selling most most bee equipment. I still sell beehives however, and bee products.

Actually it was profitable, but very time-consuming. If anybody would like to start a home business and has lots of time this is a good way to do it. You can contact me for more information if you wish.
