What POLLIBEE sells

POLLIBEE packages a lot of small tools into one box. Its two tool kits are among the largest in our catalogue by piece count, and the brand rounds them out with frames, a smoker and a winter wrap.

  • Tool kits: a 22-piece kit with a shielded smoker, 6 packs of pellets, goatskin gloves, L, thumb and J hooks, frame grip, brush, uncapping tools and a frame perch; and a 35-piece kit that adds a full XL suit and an Oxford storage bag.
  • Smoker: an 11-inch stainless smoker with a 4-inch chamber, heat shield and a J-hook tool.
  • Frames: deep frames with beeswax-coated plastic foundation in yellow or black, and black medium frames, all 10 to a pack and unassembled.
  • Winter: a wrap for 8- and 10-frame hives up to 2 deeps + 1 medium, in 600D Oxford with 3 mm pearl cotton and two foil layers.

Specs as listed by the maker or seller; check the listing before you buy.

A big kit is convenient, but count what you will actually use. Most beekeepers lean on a smoker, one good hive tool, a brush and a frame grip; uncapping tools only matter at harvest. The 35-piece kit's suit comes in XL only, so check the fit before relying on it as your main protection.

How POLLIBEE compares

BeeCastle's 9- and 14-piece kits and Goodland's complete tool set list fewer pieces but more detail on materials. For frames, Mann Lake's Rite-Cell frames come assembled, while HiveSweet sells 20-packs of unassembled waxed frames. For wraps, Windspeed and Trademark Innovations list 8-frame wraps with similar Oxford and foil layers.

For the frames, see plastic vs wax foundation.

Who POLLIBEE suits

POLLIBEE suits a beginner who wants one box of tools before the first package arrives, or a beekeeper who keeps a second set in the car. It suits you less if you already own the basics, or if you need a suit in a size other than XL. Black foundation frames make eggs easier to see during inspections. The winter wrap is a simple add-on for a wooden hive in a cold region; it does not replace good stores or mite control.
