Thinking About Beekeeping? Or Looking To Level Up Your Skills? 🐝

Books are great. YouTube is helpful. But nothing beats learning from real beekeepers and getting your questions answered face-to-face.

At Dancing Bee Equipment, our workshops are designed for every stage of the journey, from “Should I get bees?” to swarm management, IPM, harvesting, and winterizing. Hands-on, practical, and full of the kind of knowledge you can actually take back to the bee yard.

Warning: workshops may lead to increased confidence, stronger colonies, and a growing honey equipment collection 🐝🍯

ProtectaBEE™, the Swiss Army knife of hive entrances 🐝

Yellow jackets, robbing bees, mice, skunks and unwanted visitors? ProtectaBEE™ helps keep them out while giving your bees controlled access year-round.

This adjustable entrance system, and 2023 silver medal winner for beekeeping innovation, helps make hive management simpler:

✔️ Predator & robbing protection
✔️ Easier winterizing and spring clean-up
✔️ Feed probiotics and powders without opening the hive
✔️ Adjustable ventilation and traffic control
✔️ Easier hive moves and seasonal management

And here’s why beekeepers are loving it right now…

The SwarmStopper insert can temporarily hold in a mated queen while still allowing worker bees to come and go.

Perfect for:
🐝 A freshly caught swarm you want to convince to stay put
🐝 Finding queen cells but needing a little extra time before making a split

Because sometimes beekeeping is less “perfect planning” and more “buy yourself a little breathing room.”

SwarmStopper inserts sold separately.
Designed for mated queens, *clever queens may still try to negotiate their exit.*

🔥 Is your smoker held together by hope and hive glue? 🔥

It's a good time to upgrade your smoker and stock up on fuel while you're at it.

We’ve got smokers ready for the season and Wilson Fire Starter Fuel, made with 100% Canadian beeswax, to help get things lit quickly and keep you working the bees, not fighting the smoke.

Fresh smoker. Good fuel. Happier beekeeping. 🐝
