My cut-out checklist (feel free to modify/add/subtract to what suits you best):
*3' Crowbar
*1' modified prybar/hive tool (I'll try to post a pic of it later, if you want)
*Claw hammers, 1 large & 1 small
*Linoleum Knife (cuts comb nicely)
*Bee-PROOF suit w/veil & gloves
*Drill with 1.5" paddle-bit (helps when you have to tear into a wall, lets you "peek" to find the hive without tearing off several feet of wall unnecessarily)
*Circular Saw
*Reciprocating Saw (Sawzall)
*7-8 Frame deep Nuc/Swarm-trap boxes with solid bottoms and closeable entrances, at least 2 (I drill holes in the lids & screw them down, makes for safer transport)
*Screwdriver
*5gal buckets for honey comb & ruined comb, at least 2
*"Feral comb capture frames" (there's one pattern for these posted in the "BIY" section of
www.beesource.com), MINIMUM 2 per nuc
*1.5gal pump-sprayer full of 1:20 (or stronger) soapy water to "take care of" all the stragglers that I can't coax into the hive boxes
*Lots of extra soap (dish soap or liquid laundry soap both work well...buy the cheap stuff), "just in case"
*Small spray bottle of homemade bee repellant (I use Almond, Tea Tree, Jojoba, Orange, Citronella, Cinnamon, and Pennyroyal oils, listed in no particular order)
*Stapler
*Flashlights (Both with, and without red, diffuse light filters...if you work after twilight w/red diffuse light, the bees can't see to fly very well)
*Camera (I take pictures to post here, and to keep for "legal records")
Items I don't personally use often, but probably should:
*Smoker
*Bee Vac
