We've selected a winter-hardy beginner's bee kit from a company called
(get it?!) because obviously this is the perfect company for us to work with...):
TheBeeMax Beginners Kit comes complete with EVERYTHING you need to get started right away.
Introduced in 2000, Betterbee® started this line of ultra-insulating polystyrene hive equipment to give honeybee colonies a better chance at overwintering in extreme Northern temperatures, while also helping to keep the colony cool in the hot summer months due to the material from which it's made.
This Complete BeeMax® Beginner’s Kit is sold unassembled, but takes less than 30 minutes to put together. The beginner's kit includes:
