A very extensive list of the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture can be found here.

It is recommended to look for so-called starter sets. These typically include:

  • Smoker,
  • stick chisel,
  • beekeeper jacket with veil and
  • arm-length gloves.

The educational apiaries are well equipped, so the scope of a beginner’s set is appropriate and sufficient.

All other equipment (honey extractor, discovery dishes and forks, steam wax melter, mid-wall casting mold …) can either be purchased step by step by yourself or borrowed (for a rental fee) from the association.

Do you still have questions about the equipment of a beekeeper?
