Starting out you need:
Hive
Some sort of veil
Hive tool
Washing soda (to remove propolis)
Probably a good idea:
boiler-suit with attached veil
Wellington boot
Rubber/nitrile gloves
a nucleus to collect swarms
Unless you can borrow:
Uncapping pot or tray
Extractor with sieve (1-5 mm gaps)
Course filter (1 mm gaps)
Fine filter (<1 mm gaps)
For the harvest:
glass jars + lids
settling tank with a good gate
jar labels
