Affiliate Disclosure

In compliance with FTC guidelines and international advertising transparency standards, BeeKeeperGear.com provides this disclosure regarding our financial relationships and affiliate partnerships.

How We Fund Our Testing

BeeKeeperGear.com is an independent publisher. We invest significant time researching, testing, and documenting beekeeping hardware. To support this work without charging visitors a subscription fee or locking guides behind paywalls, we participate in several affiliate marketing programs.

What is an Affiliate Link?

When you click buttons labeled “CHECK CURRENT PRICE” or direct merchant links on our website (such as Mann Lake, Dadant & Sons, Betterbee, or Amazon), a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. If you subsequently complete a purchase, the merchant pays us a small referral commission.

This commission incurs zero additional cost to you. In fact, our merchant relationships frequently enable us to track and highlight verified discounts and promotional pricing for our readership.

Our Participating Networks

• Amazon Services LLC Associates Program: BeeKeeperGear is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
• ShareASale / Awin: Affiliate partner for commercial beekeeping suppliers.
• Direct Merchant Partnerships: Direct referral relationships with specialty apiary suppliers and IoT hive scale manufacturers.

Editorial Integrity Guarantee

Our product evaluations and compatibility recommendations are guided strictly by equipment durability, safety, and performance. We never recommend a substandard product simply because a merchant offers a higher commission rate.
