If you are looking to get into beekeeping, this is a great basic toolkit to get you started with the essential tools. The kit includes a red hive tool, a 4x6 Smoker with shield, and a bee brush.

A hive tool is used to pry open the hive, pry supers apart and to separate frames.

A bee brush is used to gently move the bees.

Bees communicate by pheromones. Smoke masks these pheromones.
