Things you dont use

[sarafina]

queen excluder (never used), solid bottom board (switched to screened) and 10 super Plasticell frames (I do crush and strain).

I like my frame grip since I wear gloves and I use my bee brush to move the girls out of the way so I don't crush too many.

Naproxen (Aleve).

I had a serious level of arthritis in my right shoulder but since receiving multiple stings earlier this year the pain and discomfort have largely gone.  It returns for a while if I'm using the arm too much but isn't there all the time.  It's hard to describe how debilitating the constant pain used to be.  I don't miss it.

Here's pretty much everything I DO use.

I have a Merril toolbox from Brushy Mt that makes a nice toolbox and stool.

I have several of the "Bee Breifs" which make a nice carrier for queen cells, small nucs etc from one place to another and even a nice toolbox for those things I usually leave in the minivan.

I have an Italian hive tool.  I got rid of the rest.

I have an Ultra Breeze jacket that I wear most of the time to do bee work and a Golden Bee Products suit I wear on the really hot days with just shorts.  The Ultra Breeze suit works as well (and I have one now) but I'm saving it for when the Golden Bee Products one wears out.  :)

I have several hair clip queen catchers.

I have a queen muff (from Brushy Mountain).

I have a marking tube and tester's enamal pens to mark queens.

I have regular leather gloves that I tuck into the sleeves of the jacket.

I have a few bee brushes.

I have a bottle of Lemongrass essential oil for swarm lure.

I have a bunch of medium depth two frame nucs for mating nucs and a lot of five frame ones as well.

I have a bunch of hives made up of a solid bottom board converted to a bottom feeder. 

A bunch of flat covers with shims to make the top entrance. 

A bunch of eight frame medium boxes for my hives. 

I have a lot of Mann Lake PF120 frames.

I have a lot of PermaComb frames.

I have a lot of Honey Super Cell cut down to mediums.

I have a lot of Walter T. Kelley frames with bevels cut into the top bars for foundationless.

I have a lot of custom made 1 1/4" wide foundationless frames from Dave W. (from another forum).

I have several smokers, and several of those are Rauchboys.

I have a 9/18 extractor from Mann Lake and an ucapping station (the size of a ten frame box with an excluder underneath and a honey gate on the bottom section.

I have an electric uncapping knife.

I have a Hackler honey punch for the low capped HSC and PermaComb.

I have a bunch of double bucket strainers and five gallon buckets with and without honey gates.

That's about everything that I still use.  There is lots of stuff around here that I don't...
