Item #M200
Our newly re-designed beginner kits are a great place to start your beekeeping journey! These come in commercial grade lumber (our most popular choice!) and will have small tight knots. Kits are available in 10 or 8 frame size (please specify at the time of order). This listing is for the UNASSEMBLED DELUXE KIT. The basic kit has everything a new beekeeper needs to get a colony started. If you are looking for more, the deluxe kit includes everything the basic does with added extras, like another super, queen excluder and more.
In order to give new beekeepers more options, protective-ware is no longer included in the kits! Instead, when protective ware (helmets, veils, suits, jackets, gloves or pants) is added to an order including a beginner kit, the protective-ware will be automatically discounted 20% up to 3 protective-ware items.
