Experienced beekeepers know how important it is to be fully protected against bee stings.  This beekeeping suit, made from 100% cotton,  will provide excellent protection and is designed to keep you covered up from head to toe.  

 

The quality is outstanding and the suit is beautifully made.  It is comfortable and soft against the skin. It is a generous fit so that there is plenty of room to bend and move freely. These suits are designed to be worn over your clothes so it is probably best to choose a size one up from your normal size.

These suits are recommended for professionals.  We have seen these pure cotton suits selling online for over £90, so our prices are VERY competitive. 


Picking the Correct Size Suit

- if you are not sure which size you need, please get out a tape measure and check your measurements.  Add a few inches extra to cover ease of movement, and to allow for clothing to be worn underneath.  Make sure you have an accurate measurement for the collar to crotch, so that you will be able to bend in the suit.  

If you are unsure which size to order, please contact us so that we can advise you.

Sizes - Please note, we now also have a small supply of suits in even larger sizes, from 3XL to 5XL.  Please contact us for details

Description

The Beekeeping Veil is offered in the fencing style and can be unzipped and thrown back when not needed. It is zipped onto the suit, so you can remove it completely when necessary.

The suit has 6 pockets, two on the legs and two on the chest which fasten with Velcro. There are a further two larger pockets at the waist.  There are pockets on both sleeves suitable for carrying a hive tool. The cuffs and ankles are elasticated, and the waist is partially elasticated.  The cuff includes a thumb hook so that cuffs are kept in place when putting on gloves.  The suit zips up from the crotch to the veil and a Velcro flap covers the point where the zips meet. The sleeve are batwing sleeves for ease of movement.

 

We are now also selling bee smokers and beekeeping gloves - please visit our Ebay Shop for further details.

  

Washing Instructions

Both the veil and the bee suit can be thrown in the washing machine.  Wash them separately though, the body part of the suit on a 30 degree wash, and the veil in a cold wash. Just remember to wash the veil inside a pillow case or duvet cover to keep it in good shape.

Don't put either part of the suit in the tumble dryer - the suit should be drip dried. preferably lying flat.
