My friends keep asking me advice on what's a good gift to give to their beekeeper friends for this Holiday Season, so I decided to make my own Beekeeper Holiday Gift Guide.. Below you can find links to the products featured in my Holiday Gift Guide - For the BeeKeeper. Any of these gifts would be a great gesture to the fellow beekeeper!

Brushy Mountain Smoker

Every beekeeper is in need of a smoker, and even though they can last for years, some times have a brand new shiny piece of equipment is just really nice! A gift of a smoker would give any beekeeper a nice smile!

Frame Perch

This piece of equipment isn't absolutely necessary but it sure does help with inspections! Buying this has helped me a tremendous ordeal with doing hive inspections. You can put one or two frames on it while moving the other frames around without making any of the bees unhappy or putting any of the frames on the ground or laying them on the sides. This would be a great addition to any beekeepers tools.

The Beekeeper's Bible: Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses

A great book full of knowledge and insights into beekeeping. Great for beekeepers but even more excellent for beginners! " Part history book, part handbook, and part cookbook, this illustrated tome covers every facet of the ancient hobby of beekeeping, from how to manage hives safely to harvesting one's own honey, and ideas for how to use honey and beeswax." A great gift for anyone who is a beekeeper!
