"Okay, here we have the basic tools for an experienced bee keeper: a smoker, to make smoke; a spatula with two different angles, and a veil for covering your face and neck, basically. That is for an experience beekeeper, but for beginners, it’s good to have an overall with long sleeves, and at the very beginning, gloves- but eventually gloves might keep you away from good perception of bees. So we experienced people, we work with the bees with long sleeves- or could be short sleeves if you feel very confident, but basically, with bare hands. So you can really have a sense of perception of the bee’s temper at that precise moment. "

on 8/2/2008 Only a beginner would use this but purpose of spatula was not explained. Gloves were not shown e.g. many beekeepers use vinyl gloves which keep hands clean but still give sensitivity keeping, leather ones for emergencies.
