You will require:

While we have provided safety edges on exposed portions of the hive once assembled, during the assembly there are sharp, exposed metal edges which could cause a serious injury, therefore we recommend the use of a light pair of garden or work gloves, a long sleeved shirt and safety glasses.

Approximately 15 - 20 litres (4 gallons) of peat moss, coir and/or forest floor material

A bottle of child-friendly glue and a spatula or scraper to spread the glue.

A couple of sheets of newspaper to line the hive floor.
