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 11 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.
Your story goes here. Who started BEESUITWEAR and when, where the suits are made, who makes them, and how many beekeepers you have shipped to. Those are the strongest things on any page like this — and they have to come from you, not from us.
