We are very excited to start raising honey bees this spring. We read Bee Keeping for Dummies and signed up for the beekeeping course through the Inland Empire Beekeeping Association and Washington State University. We purchased all of our gear at Tate’s Honey Farm in Spokane. Coincidentally, he’s right around the corner from the Pumpkin Patch Community Garden (a project we helped with in 2010).   If you’re going into bee keeping, we highly recommend Tate’s Honey Farm. He and his friends were so knowledgeable and friendly!

Here is the bee suit and gloves:

I’m thinking of wearing this on bad hair days:
