Those of us who keep honey bees also tend to have a good sense of humor. This is due to the fact that beekeeping is not an exact a science and sometimes the bees do whatever they want. Here are some practical beekeeping gifts that have a humorous side too!
Multiple Hive Tools
3 Pcs J Hook Hive Tool Frame Lifter
Hive tools are an essential part of any beekeeping experience. Every beekeeper needs one – several in fact. You might wonder why this gift idea is funny?
Well, most beekeepers can’t keep up with them. When we need one – it is a struggle to find. This could be a sweet and funny gift for even an established beekeeper.
Buy the 3 pack and wrap them up separately. The receiver continues to open them one after another. Now, maybe they will be able to find one when they need it. LOL

This useful item is for the beekeeper who end up with too many bees loose in the car. It also benefits the spouse or friend of a beekeeper who does not enjoy car rides with honey bees flying around their head.
A captured bee swarm, new package of bees or bee nuc hive fits easily into the bag. It allows the bees to have good ventilation while keeping them safely inside until you arrive home!
