Honey Lake Beekeeping Supplies Bee Smoker Starter Kit, 16 Pcs Bee Keeping Starter Kit Bee Keeping Supplies-All for Beekeepers Including Different Kinds of Beekeeping Tools

This box has everything you need to get started on your beekeeping journey and after testing out several of the tools, they are quality and have not broken. I would recommend buying this kit since it is reasonably priced and gives you everything you need to get started.

I actually only needed gloves but I saw this deal and I couldn't pass it up. I got it today, it has so much stuff in it including a smoker. This is definitely a good purchase and I would definitely get again if I need another pair of gloves!

Awesome product good and fast delivery

Pretty complete set to get you started.

I'm a newbie and I priced some of the tools I'd need separately and they added up. This little kit gave me things I know I needed and some I'm glad that I had on hand! You can't beat the price and I was surprised with the quality. They were the same ones I could buy separately, but just one tool was 1/3 of the price that I paid for this set. A friend of mine lost all her tools during a move and she thought this set was a great buy and bought it to replace the ones she'd lost. I'll Bee happy with this set!

It's really odd but these are the highest-quality gloves I have seen, with thick rough denim-like fabric and solid yet flexible leather. They don't sell this model of gloves separately (similar ones with thin crappy fabric but identical markings are sold basically everywhere). Most of the rest of thjs stuff is garbage. The smoker is average, with real leather & wood and perfectly-acceptable stainless steel. The air-circulation disk/table thing inside will flip into the wrong position every time and I suggest stuffing steel wool in there to hold it in place. The decapping knife looks like some ancient serrated warrior's blade and it's sharp. I use it for everything but what it's designed for (buy a heated knife for actual decapping). The frame lifter is put together backwards by the factory, and you will likely break one of the springs while trying to fix it. It doesn't matter though because everyone seems to stop using then after the third or fourth time they pick one up. The J-hook and traditional hive tool are just like every other set of hive tools you will get for free with nearly every bee-related purchase you ever make. Every beekeeper I know has a pile of them. Solid quality. The queen marking tool works just fine until you pick up a generic one-handed queen-catcher tool and see how much better it is (and that will work until you pick up a Mann Lake one and realize that there is a HUGE quality difference, and the generic ones are awful by comparison. And the first time you accidentally kill a queen with one, you have eliminated the seven dollar savings that made you choose the generic version). The rest of the stuff is just random clutter they threw in the box so they could call it a variety pack. You will throw most of it away (and then re-purchase half of it back). There is a single beetle trap, which is far less than anyone needs, and a single honey gate which is the kind of thing only needed by people who buy hundreds of dollars worth of extracting equipment - and will thus buy their own honey gates. A strainer bag that's probably the wrong size, two other bad decapping tools (though one makes a fine drone-killing fork), and various other bits and bobs. But really - the gloves are fantastic. I'd pay thirty bucks for those gloves any day. I just bought my SECOND Honey Lake starter kit for $39 just to get another pair of those gloves. I'll get some use out of the smoker (smokers only last 1-2 seasons and aren't really a permanent tool anyway, so another will come in handy, and that second knife may make a good Halloween prop. The rest is just the stuff one must deal with in order to get those gloves. I usually wear a large men's glove, and these fit great. The fabric feels like Carhartt Detroit denim jacket's outer layer, and the leather has never let a stinger through. Consider this a $25 set of gloves, a $10 smoker, and a pile of junk.

I think this is a good starter kit for a decent price. Everything will last a couple years and it gives people a chance to see what they would want to upgrade. Definitely recommend for a newbie.

I needed an extra smoker and a pair of gloves, this items from Amazon offered what I needed and a lot more for one low price. The hive tools are sturdy and hard enough, I could separate the honey supers with ease and remove frames. The brush is better and more gentle than the yellow plastic brush I was using, it does not irritate the bees during honey harvest. There are several other items that I have not used yet. But overall, this was a great buy. I will buy more if I expand my apiary.

I am very impressed with this kit. Mind you, we are new to beekeeping, but this kit came with everything that we need and things. We don't even know what they are, but I'm sure we will figure that out in the future. Great products for the price and comes with everything you even didn't know you needed. So I highly recommend buying it. If you're getting bees

Gute Qualität für relativ wenig Geld. Für mich als Neuimker völlig ausreichend.

In this bundle I got everything we needed for our hives. Mostly I needed the J tool, the smoker and the brush but the other things are handy too. Smoker is good quality and works well.

New bee keeper would definitely recommend

New bee keeper and this is perfect
