Bee Keeping Supplies



This is a bee keeping table.  It is  useful to have it to clean out your bee hive.  Ours is pressure treated wood for the bottom and cedar planks for the top.  This type of wood will resist weather damage.  One of the members of the Lexingon 5 built this table!


This is a green drone frame.  This is where the queen will lay drone eggs.  It has bigger hexagons than the white frame.  It is plastic rubbed with bee wax.


This is a honey frame.  This is where they lay worker bee eggs and a new queen  if necessary.

There is another frame that is black and it is for the queen bee to lay eggs in.


This is a hive tool. The red part is for picking up the frame and the silver part is for scraping wax and propolis.
