You will need a bottom board for each hive. A cover for each hive (either an inner cover and a telescopic or just a migratory). You will need eight frames for each box. You'll need probably about four boxes for each hive to start off. You will need more later, but that's a good start. I'd buy the Italian hive tool from Brushy Mt. and a jacket with a zip on veil. Regular leather driving gloves will tuck into the sleeves on the jacket. A smoker is helpful. Get a big one. They are easier to light and easier to keep lit.
