Full-body beekeeping coverall
One piece, collar to ankle — so there is nothing to ride up
The moment a beekeeper gets caught out is rarely the calm part. It is when you are bent over a brood box with both arms in it, and a jacket rides up off your back, or a two-piece pulls open at the waist.
This is a single coverall. The fabric runs unbroken from the collar, across your back, past an elasticated waist and down to gathered ankle cuffs. Bend, kneel, reach into the box — the hem is designed out. The hood comes attached, and one pair of gauntlet gloves comes in the box.
The veil
The mesh stands off your face, and that is the part that matters
This one is a round dome hood: slim white plastic hoop stays arch over and around the screen and hold it open, so the fine mesh sits clear of your nose and stays there while you look down into a hive. You get a wide, clear view of the frames in front of you.
The hood joins the body with a zip that runs around the collar, and where the two zip ends meet, a broad hook-and-loop tab folds down and closes flat over the join, covering the one spot a zip always leaves. Between hives, the whole hood folds back onto your shoulders.
What beekeepers say
Rated highly by beekeepers
- “This suit survived a day of hive splits and a full afternoon of honey extraction with zero stings and great comfort.” (Emily D.)
- “I’m fairly new to beekeeping and was nervous about my first inspections. This suit boosted my confidence — excellent protection.” (Andrew A.)
- “The gloves gave me confidence handling a defensive colony and I didn’t sacrifice tactile control. Well-made and thoughtfully designed.” (Hannah R.)
- “Built for heavy-duty use. I tested it on several aggressive hives and never felt a sting through the suit or gloves.” (Brandon J.)
- “Excellent visibility from the hood and the veil shape prevents smothering. The suit’s seams are solid and zippers are heavy-duty.” (Ethan T.)
- “The head net doesn’t fog up and the overall construction feels durable. Great beginner to intermediate suit.” (Laura T.)
- “Comfortable, well-thought-out design. The gauntlet style gloves slide over sleeves nicely and the elastic closures seal well.” (Ryan H.)
- “The zipper flaps help keep bees out. Very happy with this purchase.” (Rachel R.)
- “Zippers glide smoothly and the wrist/ankle closures are secure. Gloves fit well and don’t restrict finger movement. Solid product.” (Sarah G.)
- “Fit is true to size and the veil gives excellent visibility. Highly recommend for anyone handling colonies regularly.” (Daniel M.)
- “I run a small 30-hive operation and needed something comfortable for long hours.” (Joshua M.)
- “I’ve been wearing this full-body suit for about three months during our spring inspections and it’s been a game changer.” (Michael J.)
Closed at every opening
Cuffs, waist and gauntlets
- Elasticated wrist cuffs, gathered so the sleeve closes on your forearm rather than hanging open.
- Elasticated ankle cuffs, gathered the same way, meant to sit down over the top of a boot.
- An elasticated waist that pulls the suit in and keeps the loose fabric from billowing while you work.
- Gauntlet gloves — the hand, fingers and thumb are a smooth close-grained palm panel, and a long natural-colored woven sleeve runs up the forearm with an elastic band at its top. Pull that sleeve up over the outside of the suit sleeve so the two overlap, and the wrist is sealed.
- A flat chest pocket and a hip pocket for the small things you keep losing in the grass.
Made for the whole season
Backyard apiaries, first inspections and honey days
Whether you are checking high frames, feeding bees, splitting a hive or running an afternoon of honey extraction, this is the head-to-ankle outfit that lets you work with confidence. New beekeepers call it a great beginner-to-intermediate suit, and keepers with dozens of hives wear it through long hours.
It is the cleaner answer to a jacket and trousers: one seamless run from collar to ankle that stays put as you work. Zip in, pull the gauntlets over the sleeves, and the work begins.
Sizing
Measure a garment you already own, then compare
These are the measurements of the garment, and the suit is cut loose to go on over your clothes. The useful number is total length: measure from the base of your neck straight down to your ankle bone and compare it against the figures below.
The waist is elastic, so it stretches to fit you. Size by total length and the suit goes on easily over your clothes.
