What this means
BeeMath 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. When you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same whether or not you use our link.
Why we use affiliate links
Running a free, ad-light resource takes time and money. Affiliate commissions help cover hosting and the many hours that go into writing, illustrating, and maintaining the guides and calculator, so we can keep them free for everyone. It is, quite simply, how the lights stay on.
Our promise to you
Affiliate relationships never change what we recommend. We suggest beekeeping gear because we believe it is genuinely useful to a new beekeeper, not because of any commission. We will always aim to be honest about what you actually need versus what you can skip — including telling you when the cheapest option is fine or when you can borrow an item instead of buying it.
How to spot the links
Affiliate links are clearly marked near the link itself with a label such as “(paid link),” and this site-wide disclosure appears in our footer on every page. Outbound product links open on Amazon, where Amazon’s own terms and privacy policy apply.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and the requirements of the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement. We are committed to transparency about our financial relationships so you can make informed decisions.
