Product Description
Professional-grade beekeeping suits. Designed for comfort. Built to last.
Humble Bee polycotton beekeeping suits are constructed from a premium 50% cotton / 50% synthetic blend. We raised the bar on quality by using heavy duty brass zippers, double-stitching the pockets, and including a deluxe canvas carrying case. We also added an elastic waistband for comfort, elastic wrists and ankles to protect your limbs, plus thumb and foot holds to keep the suit perfectly in place.
You're safe with extra strength, best-in-class protection against bee stings
Humble Bee polycotton beekeeping suits utilize medium-weight (280 gsm) cloth, woven in a special interlocking pattern, that provides superior protection against bee stings. At the same time, the lithe, breathable fabric helps keep you cool during the warm summer beekeeping season. With Humble Bee, say goodbye to painful bee stings and hello to extra strength protection and all-day comfort!
Expertly tailored for all male and female body types, from XXS to 6XL

The zippers are strong and good quality. The material feels cheaper, but I haven't had any stings yet so I guess it's working. I gave this suit a 4/5 for "value for money" because I think you'd be better off to "buy once; cry once," getting a 3-layer ventilated suit. They appear to have better protection and are way more breathable.

I wasn't sure if I should get a small or extra small. I'm 5'2" petite build and didn't want it too long in the legs and arms or fluffy in the body. I'm about the size of a twelve-year-old basically. It fit nicely. The material is nice and good quality. The gold zipper is very nice quality with rings to easily pull. The elastic around the wrist and ankles are just right. There are pockets all over. Even on the sides of the legs and sides of the arms to put any tools you need. I'm quite pleased. Also, the delivery came quickly as promised.

This Bee Suit seems well thought out and I was able to use a weed Wacker around and in-between, about 10 hives of bees without getting stung. Yes, I did get the suit dirty, however that should have minimal to no impact on usability unless you physically damage the suit. With the additional purchase of bee gloves and water boots even the ones that took an interest in flying around my head could not get to me. Please note however, if the mesh is in contact with your skin in the head area of the suit that means bees can come into contact and inevitable sting you so use some degree of caution. The round veil is actually detachable move both zippers to the front facing left or rear facing right to then slowly lift off the veil. This will then give you the ability to machine wash the suit and hand wash the veil after each use or as necessary. Remember this item does not come with gloves to adequate bee gloves are necessary unless your ok with a few hand stings and pepper shoe attire to protect your feet. I have moved away from the hive with a bee stuck to the side of the suit so it may also be possible to get stung through it however the aggressive honey bees I deal with have not stung me as of yet with the bee suite, gloves and water boots.

Great suit. Very well made and good quality but I would order a size larger especially if you’re tall. I’m 6’3 290 and the 2XL was very uncomfortable when standing fully upright or attempting to bend over. Ordered a larger one and I’m sure that will be much better

I bought an XL suit. I am 5 ft. 10 in., 30 in. inseam, 200+ lbs. The extra large (XL) fits, but it is a little tight in the inseam and shoulders. The next size up would have been better. You will need to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt under the suit, as the suit-fabric is not super thick. Buying a size up (see the size chart in the product pictures) will allow for the extra clothing and what seems to be the odd sizing of the suit. You will need to purchase gloves separately.

We bought two of these suits. So far, we have worn them a minimum of ten times. They are durable and we can move around in them comfortably. So far, we have not been stung while wearing them correctly. They are easy to take off, as well.

Hält Stiche gut ab, das Netz am Kopf ist klein und die Bienen schwirren nahe beim Gesicht herum. Beim Verladen der Bienen ging die Fluglucke auf und die Bienen waren aggressiv, da kamen auch Bienen in den Hut. Man muss wirklich genau beim Zumachen sein.

Excellent bee keeping suit. I purchased it to deal with a wasp problem in a tight spot. I was able to walk up to it and deal with live hive comfortably and safely (with proper gloves and spray in hand of course). Wish that this came with at least a pair of budget/generic gauntlet gloves for better value but ended having to purchase it separately.I would recommend this if you want deal with wasps comfortably and safely. It allows you to get up close and not have to worry. The suit is well sealed when zipped/fasten up. If it works with wasps I’m sure it work just as well with bees.Just a couple notes. First, I used thicker gloves with non elastic gauntlet so I did tape it up along with my pant cuff for extra layer of security. Second, order a size or two larger than you need. It does fit small like all other reviews. The extra fabric from the larger size is a benefit too as it creates a larger barrier/airspace between your skin and the suit. Lastly, do wear a heavier shirt and jeans underneath as backup…don’t go commando ;)

As a pest control technician, I am called many times to take care of wild bees. It's easy to suit up and the overlap provides excellent protection. The zippers can get caught if your not careful, but that doesn't detract from the overall quality.

the quality of the product is great, i got the XXL size since I'm somewhat tall and the suit fits great. the veil, would keep my one year old's head safe in it. no mater how much I adjusted either my ears of nose is touching the veil. first time working my hives got stung on my nose which hurts a lot, looking to get a different veil for the suit as I don't want to return it, but the brass zipper is a different tooth ratio to most of the veils I have found out there. Sure whish this veil was larger like the suit.
