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
Humble Bee polycotton beekeeping suits come in a variety of sizes - just like beekeepers do! Simply review our sizing chart in the product images to find the beekeeping suit that fits you best.

Overall size in general runs small. I ordered the XL, one size up from what I would typically wear and still felt tight. The fabric of the suit is great however not a fan of mesh on the veil. Not sure if it is the length of the mesh but it tends to lay against my face as you move around. I was stung through the mesh on my lip as I was moving around. I’ve heard to wear a hat under to keep the mesh pushed away. I’m going to buy another suit with the fencing shield.

This is a sturdy suit and goes on easily. I am 150lbs, 5'2" tall. I wear an XL.This was the second Bee Suit I purchased. The first one failed after 2 uses with the zippered hood. The fabric is a heavy-weight cotton and protects from stings. The headwear is easy to use without issues of vision impairment. I haven't washed it yet, but I can wash the suit, not the hat. That's important for me as I move bees to happy homes. I am not a beekeeper.

Great suit, very comfortable, well fitting, and thick enough to keep my most aggressive bees out without being too hot.

Dräkten kom idag och passar bra. Inte kanske för de varmaste sommardagarna men trevligt med lite kraftigare tyg. Skulle kolla om tyget krymper vid tvätt - ingen uppgift om det, men ser då att bara handtvätt rekommenderas. Vad tror dem egentligen?!

I always worry when buying online that what you get is totally not what was pictured or described, or is teeny tiny.Purchased XXL for my 6’3” hubby and it fits him perfectly!Thicker cotton, very well constructed and I love the zippers have ring pulls instead of tiny tabs.Sizing was perfect and he is able to move and stretch with no pulling. I’m the beekeeper but he’s my muscle so this was needed to keep him out of the line of bee fire.Lots of practical pockets and the fastenings are quality and secure.Really impressed with the construction. It’s better than the suit I have and I paid way more for it at a store.Thank you, I’ll be ordering one for me soon!

I'm 6' 2" tall, and weigh 230 lbs. With jeans and t-shirt on, this XXXL suit fits me perfectly. It's not too tight and I have full range of motion in all extremities, but it's not so lose that it will constantly snag on things. Nice weight. The zippers are heavy duty and should last forever. Lots of flaps to prevent busy bees from trying to crawl in. Extremely comfortable.I am beyond thrilled with the quality of this suit. The thumb and foot straps make sure everything stays in place.The girls don't stand a chance of stinging me this year.I would fully expect a suit of this quality to cost much more.

. Mfr says this suit is not rated for wasps as they have longer stingers than bees. I used it for yellowjackets but decided to err on the side of caution and wore bulky fleece underneath. I don't know if any yellowjackets tried to sting me (nighttime use only, puffing insecticide into entry hole) but think the combination of the outer protective shell (first carefully inspecting for holes and making sure all zippers and tabs are properly closed and fastened) and the bulky clothing would have been more than enough to stop yellow jacket penetration and stings. Mesh veil did not touch face so no sting through danger there. Price of suit much less than cost of an emergency room visit! Sizing--suggest going several sizes larger than seller's size chart shows. Am 6' 1" and 230 pounds so chose XXXL size which allowed me to wear extra protective clothing underneath suit. Enough room inside head section to wear red beam headlamp; veil did not block the light. The suit itself is high quality with brass zippers and nice detail. Mates nicely with Humble Bee gloves. Chose this model rather than a more expensive Humble Bee offering because the only apparent difference was better ventilation; I only needed to have a suit on for short periods at night so ventilation was not an important issue.

Well designed, from the thumb straps to hold the sleeves inside your gloves to the well placed pockets, to the Velcro patch/cover where the zippers end to keep out determined bees. This is the best quality suit I have ever owned. I had a particular aggressive hive I had worked with and they found all the openings in my last outfit and managed to have me stop working them due to the amount of bees getting past my equipment and stinging me. I bought this suit to prevent that. This suit is almost bullet proof. I was a little nervous working for the first time in this suit with that particularly aggressive hive, but after the first 10 min I was completely relaxed because no bees were getting through. The quality of the materials is top notch, the sewing/stitching is equally top notch. I'm 6' 3" tall and 230 lbs and the XXXL fits perfect with blue jeans and a long sleeved shirt underneath. The suit comes in a cloth Humble Bee zippered storage bag, nice added touch. I would recommend this suit to anyone who would like to enjoy their bees and not be concerned about getting a dozen aggressive and determined bees inside your vail. This is a commercial grade quality suit. I will buy again from this company, but that will not be for a while due to the high quality of materials and craftsmanship they use. This suit is going to last a while. Thank you Humble Bee for the quality product you make, the attention to detail is evident in your product.

I love it! I can now get honey out without a billion bee stings! Boy those little buggers do not like people messing with their stuff. Now I just stand there in my bee suit and dare them to attack. It does run a bit small. I bought a large and I usually wear a medium. The large is still a snug fit. But it is well made? Allot of little details that really made a difference. Like the hood. It does not crush like the one that came with the bee hive kit. And? It is fitted to my head. It has a set up that allows a snug fit to my head so I do not have to adjust it all the time. The sleeves and legs have a nice loop to keep the suit in place while slipping on the gloves and keep pant legs down in shoe/boot.

i am only giving this 4-stars because of the availability of the product. As a first time bee keeper I was searching for a bee suit and couldn't believe the prices. I came across the Humble Bee suit for a great price and to my amazement I couldn't find any information on the company, aside they are from Australia. I made the purchase, optimistic of the quality, and was pleased with the suit when it arrived. I am 5'7", 145 lbs so the Small suit fit me, but I would have been more comfortable in a medium. The suit is a great quality cotton mix, and the veil is money. Nice and wide, it sits on top of your head to avoid those head stings, and enough zippers where they count. I'm pleased with the purchase, as I am with their matching cow hide bee gloves.
