NewBee: Equipment ordered without a moment to spare

Well, I did it. 
I have ordered my beekeeping equipment. 

I have agonized over this for days, weeks, MONTHS.  As you may recall from my prior post, it was not the idea of keeping bees that terrified me, it was the equipment.  I finally got a handle on the equipment.  Or, so I thought.  Then, came the hot issue in backyard beekeeping right now:  standardized components or non-standardized components.  What this essentially means is do you buy all the same sized boxes or do you buy a combination of different sized boxes?  Oh, and then the issue of choosing 8-frame or 10-frame components.  For every person who says to buy standardized components, there is another person who says to buy assorted sizes.  Same goes for the 8 vs. 10 frame issue.  Not knowing for sure what to do, I decided to standardize with one exception, I will try one deep hive body to see how it goes.  So, in the end, I went with 8-frame components, mostly medium sized with one deep hive body.  I think the smaller, lighter boxes will enable the kids to get more involved in the hives.

Here's what my final list looked like:
(I ordered all my components and equipment from Brushy Mountain except for the kids' suits.  Those are being made by BeeWorks.  They are so cute!  Image HERE.  Also, I had already ordered my veil and our gloves and the smoker.)

So, there you have it.  Everything I need to get started on the two hives.  Well, except the bees.  Those are coming from two local bee/queen suppliers.  And, I ordered extra hive brushes and tools so the kids can have one to use without having to worry about handing it back and forth, it getting dropped, etc.  I am really getting excited.  But, also nervous.  I have not left myself much time to get all this equipment built and ready before the bees are to arrive.  Ugh.  Why do I do this to myself?  Off to Home Depot to see if they have any remnant paint.
