Forest Beekeeping Supply
Forest Beekeeping Supply is a family run beekeeping retailer operating out of Frisco, Texas, with more than fifteen years in the trade. The shop stocks protective clothing, goatskin leather gloves with long canvas sleeves and elastic cuffs, hive tools, smokers and bulk cotton fibre smoker fuel, extraction equipment and hive components, and it also sells a slice of the range through Amazon. The unusual part of the offer is made to measure work: buyers pick gear type and fabric, send their measurements and receive a custom suit or jacket, with a stated lead time of three to four weeks.
Suits its audience of hobbyists and small commercial keepers who value a person answering the email over a call centre. Those who need next day parts or a broad catalogue of woodenware will find the selection thinner than at the large national suppliers, and custom orders require patience.
