Feel secure

It’s important to feel secure and confident when tending to your bees, that’s why a beekeeping suit is a must. Offering the very best in sting prevention, our organic beekeeping suit features a fully removable fencing veil, plus anti-bunch elastic thumb and ankle stirrups. Also includes lightweight, ventilated gauntlet goatskin gloves.

Keep your colony calm

A quality smoker is a must-have in every beekeeping starter kit. Made from stainless steel, the Flow beekeeping smoker includes a wire guard to protect against accidental burns, a hook at the back for hanging while you tend to your beehive, a ventilated insert for better airflow, and the Flow logo on its bellows.

Australian made

Designed and manufactured in Australia using precision laser cutting, from locally grown, sustainably sourced Araucaria.

Paint it your way

Crafted from sustainably harvested Australian Araucaria, a native cabinet timber highly regarded for its stability & durability, your hive should see you through many seasons when properly maintained.

Apply two coats of exterior house paint for protection from the elements – It's a great chance to get creative!
