Beekeeping tech

What do you guys think about the latest technology that's supposed to make rearing bees more efficient? I've wanted to raise bees for a while now, but there's so much out there that I'm finding it difficult to settle on a plan.

I've been looking into beekeeping as a hobby. Have you seen this outfit?

I would be interested to learn more about bees and beekeeping . I know basically nothing! Care to share anything you have learned while looking into this new adventure.
