the tools are pretty basic: thick clothes, waterproof gloves, brush, small prybar, smoker
don't need special smoker filler, regular leaves/twigs/sawdust is fine
you buy the bees usually with the queen or buy queen separate. if you want to attract a wild swarm, lemongrass oil attracts the queen. if you want to find a hive, get a little box with a wooden top flap. you walk up to bee on flower and grab him. like so: https://youtu.be/EAt0pkag9YY

NEVER USE PESTICIDES, even if you don't own bees!
if you have pest issues, research companion planting and the issues of monocropping!
if you must, neem (tea tree / manuka) oil can be sprayed on most plants. alliums (garlic/onion) keep away insects as well. you can also get stuff like anise hyssop to attract insect predators. vinegar will keep away mammals
other issues even after companion planting is the actual health of the plant. make sure the soil is good but NEVER USE MINERAL FERTILIZERS! use compost (also look into green:brown ratios), especially in autumn (for winter snowmelt percolation). if trees loose their leaves (especially small trees), DO NOT brush them away. it is protecting its roots. Crop rotations are necessary and helpful ways to 1) avoid soil degredation, 2) fixate some nutrients (legumes add nitrogen to soil), and 3) confuse pest populations that build up in one area year to year
