About BEESUITWEAR
Protective apparel, specified honestly
High quality, lightweight and comfortable beekeeping suits designed for maximum protection, breathability and performance.
What we make
42 products across 12 categories: ventilated and cotton bee suits, jackets and smocks, gloves, veils and hats, kids’ suits, and spares. Sizes run from X-Small to 5X-Large, and anything in between can be cut to measure.
How we talk about it
Protective equipment reduces risk; it does not remove it. No suit makes a sting impossible, and any shop that tells you otherwise is selling rather than advising.
So we would rather explain the trade-off. Ventilated mesh is cooler and holds the cloth off your skin; cotton is quieter against the hive, cheaper and easier to repair. Which is right depends on your climate, your colonies, and how long you work at a stretch — not on which one costs more.
The fabrics
Ventilated Mesh
Bonded multi-layer mesh. Holds the outer face clear of the skin and moves air through the gap. Used across the ventilated range.
Poly-Cotton
Woven poly-cotton. The traditional bee-suit cloth: quieter against the hive, straightforward to repair, and hard-wearing.
Ultralight Ripstop
Lightweight ripstop for quick inspections and packing down small.
Custom fit
Between two sizes? Skip sizing entirely.
Send nine measurements and we cut the suit to them — your choice of fabric, color and veil.
