    Here’s what I carry in my toolbox. I’m too ashamed to include the box after seeing Wraith’s pristine example.The two bits of kit I couldn’t do without are the frame gripper and the frame rest. They make working with short lugged 14x12 frames a whole lot easier. It’s a pity that most beginner’s kits just have a hive tool and smoker.

    I prefer duct tape to parcel tape.
    Now I know who has stolen all the hive tools I have lost.

    I use a frame grip too, and I wish somebody would make a frame rest that fits poly hives, I don't have the DIY skills to make one myself.

    Am I the only one that carries a small box of fondant, just in case?
