HIVE ACCESSORIES:
Smoker The Little Giant® Smoker helps calm your bees
when working on your hives. The surrounding wire grid pro-
tects you from the heat of the smoker, allowing you to safely
smoke your hives throughout your inspection or harvest. A
properly packed and lit smoker can last throughout the day
for your work.
Smoker Fuel The Little Giant® Smoker Fuel is an efficient
addition to your Little Giant Smoker. To light a smoker, stuff
a handful of fuel loosely in the bottom of the smoker and
light it. Puff the bellows to fuel the flames. When it is hot,
pack in more fuel, gently puffing the bellow throughout. The
objective is a cool, thick smoke. Keep the smoker filled with
fuel as you work the bees. Low fuel will lead to emission of
sparks.
Frame Feeder Taking the place of one the frames inside the
brood box, the frame feeder (sometimes known as a board
feeder) holds approximately 1 quart of syrup. An inner lad-
der and grooved side helps the bees access the syrup while
preventing drowning.
Bee Brush The Little Giant® Beekeeping Brush gently re-
moves bees from the frames both during inspections of the
hives and during removal of frames for honey extraction.
The soft bristles of the brush are specially designed to re-
move the bees without harm.
Hive Tool The Little Giant® Hive Tool is a must-have for
working with your hives. 10 inches long, the Little Giant Hive
Tool is a versatile multi-tasker complete with a scraping
edge, nail-pulling hole, and angled end that is designed
specifically to fit on a hive frame and help pry it loose.
Goatskin Gloves Little Giant® Goatskin Gloves provide dex-
terity and protection when working with bees. The gloves
are complete with elastic cuffs to keep bees out. The soft
and pliable goatskin offers superior mobility and flexibility.

Beekeeping Veil Little Giant® offers two styles of beekeep-
ing veils: a one-piece veil with hat (HVEIL) and a square veil
(SQVEIL) that requires the addition of a bee helmet (HEL-
MET). Both styles of Little Giant® Beekeeping Veil will keep
you protected while inspecting and working with your hive.
The HVEIL's one-piece construction makes this veil a quick
grab-and-go option to get out to your hives without any
fuss, while the SQVEIL is a premium alternative for durability
and longevity. Both veils provide the proper distance away
from your face to prevent bee stings.

ing for Dummies by Howland Blackiston is a comprehensive

you through the tools of beekeeping, the steps necessary
to build and maintain your own beehives, and the phases
