This is a paperback book by Gene Stratton-Porter called The Keeper of the Bees. It is a story set in outback America with lots of lovely descriptions as well as information about bees.

This is a pair of fun mugs. They both have bees on them which are drawn in a pretty way with yellow and black colouring, one says Queen above the bee design with a crown above the word in black and the other says keeper underneath the design.

This is a hat and veil designed for bee keepers. It is a lightweight cotton hat which has a stainless steel rim to allow the veil which is worn over it, to stay away from the face of the wearer.

There is a bib with it which can be worn under a top layer of clothing to stop bees getting inside the neck of clothes or on the skin.

This is a special Beekeeping logbook. It has a pretty flower and bee design on the front and inside there are pre written logs so you can just fill in the details.

They would also disturb the nest and distress the bees. They are reusable and made from galvanised iron.
