Best Resources for Finding Beekeeping Supplies

Although beekeeping has become more popular in recent years it can be hard to find reliable sources of beekeeping supplies for beginners. These are the top resources to help you find beekeeping supplies for your new venture, as well as for those that will be required for maintaining an apiary or hive.

1.Do some Internet Research

You can find a wide range of information and supplies online that will help you bee-safe. You will not only find beekeeping information online and beekeepers around the globe, but also suppliers for everything you need from bees to artificial hives.

2.Join an Online Community or Forum

You can join an online forum or beekeeping community to gain valuable beekeeping knowledge and information about suppliers and equipment. Other beekeepers, no matter where they are located, can provide valuable referrals to reputable and established supply houses.

3.Get in touch with your local Agricultural Extension Office

The pollination of crops is one of the most important functions that honey bees play in agriculture. Local agricultural extension offices have been increasing their beekeeping resources as feral bee populations are decreasing due to pest and disease infestations. Although they have always been useful to some degree, it has become necessary for many local offices to increase their resources to encourage hobbyists to beekeepers.

4.Refer to the Beekeeper's Guide

You can be a successful beekeeper if you do your research and have a solid foundation. These guides are very useful in helping you find beekeeping supplies. These guides are often written by beekeepers who have used many different sources to purchase supplies over the years. Learn from others who have been through the failures and successes of early beekeeping ventures.

5.Subscribe to Trade Catalogues & Magazines

Subscribe to trade catalogs that cover a topic to stay current in your field. These magazines can be a good place to find suppliers of beekeeping equipment. You will not only find advertisements for suppliers but also articles about beekeeping topics that will help you to understand best practices and further your knowledge.
