You're overpaying, partly because of shrinkflation.

Here is a much better deal on hive components and explains to me why I've seen Hoover hives so much as of late.

For the bee suit, the size you pick needs to be ~2 sizes larger than the person's regular clothing. The extra space helps to ease getting in and out of it with cloths on, as well as acting as extra protection from feisty guards who decide to ram the suit to try and sting.

This tool set is just fine, the price is pretty good too. The only thing to be aware of is that for maximum dexterity, it's advised to get gloves as small as possible that still fit. Ask your mom what size glove she uses when using rubber/nitrile gloves for her hair or whatever.

The price on the package is good, but you may find better prices privately through your local clubs.

I think I found the one you're talking about. You know what... that's actually a pretty great deal especially considering the free shipping. Easily right on par with anything you'd get elsewhere. Hoover is a real brand, they're supposed to be well made and are definitely real classy-looking. I would use that in a heartbeat. I do suggest though that you go with the 10-frame version... either works fine, but 10s are more common so probably a little easier for a beginner to find size-compatible equipment. Only a couple bucks more.

My one silly hesitation... do keep in mind that for when you want more boxes (and you will!) - this deal aside, Hoover woodenware can be a little on the pricey side. And I don't know about you guys, but my wife would not stand for boxes that didn't match, lol. Purely aethetics though, bees won't care.
