Hi Steve I have a great opportunity to get some bees on Cortes island where I live at the weekends, I have a hive all set up but no bee suit or smoker. The bee guy (Reinhardt) won't give me the bees unless I get this equipment - which I am happy to do as I am a beginner!) I leave at 6.30 am on Friday to go to Cortes, have a full time job, etc etc..do you know of anywhere within driving distance that I can get this equipment off the shelf?
