SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All beekeepers get stung at some point. Before you begin beekeeping please
read the Accredited First Aid Beekeeping Safety pamphlet.
This pamphlet will help you understand the safety precautions and first aid
responses in relation to:
• bee stings,
• the safe use of smokers, and
• safe lifting
We recommend you wear a protective beekeeping suit and use a smoker
whenever you are working with your bees.
