[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1435938, member: 14661"] I would see if you can find some used equipment first. It's cheaper and comes with drawn comb, which you will learn to appreciate. If that isn't an option then I'd buy the frames separately and wire them instead of foundation and go with a migratory cover instead of the inner and outer cover. You might also consider eight frame instead of ten. Much lighter and a little easier to manage the amount of space you give them which helps with small hive beetle control. As for the veil, I prefer a ventilated half suit. That way If they blow up on you you're protected enough to finish what you're doing but not overly restricted. [/QUOTE]
