Smoker

Calms hives in order for beekeeper to open them up

These artifacts all represent crucial components of the beekeeping process

Frames

These are the walls, shelves, and furniture inside the beehive

Bee larvae develop in the small holes in the frame

These holes also give the bees a place to store

honey which is then consumed and stored for the

winter

Frames give the hive much more surface area and

which provides for greater efficiency and is

helpful for staying warm in the winter
