Professional Beekeeping Suit and Goatskin Gloves (1 pair) Self-Supporting Fencing Veil and Heavy Duty YKK Metal Zippers for Bee Keepers Easily Take On and Off (Medium)

I needed this suit as part of removing a massive hive from a soffit 2 stories of the ground. The fit was great for me. I was impressed with the overall construction. However, the neck zippers were really rough, needing a bit of a fight to open/close. I put some silicone lube on, which helped, but the zipper quality needs to be checked. Suggest the manufacturer make a model better suited for hive removal situations. I was looking up all the time, which is the opposite for typical hive work. The hood kept wanting to fall back on my nose. Eventually, I figured out to use a spring clamp to take the slack out of the front, keeping the hood more centered on my head. Either a clip, drawstring, or snaps could be used to provide this option out of the box. Also, the demo video doesn't tell you what the elastic straps at the ends of the sleeves are for. For people new to beekeeping, this is an important detail. lol

Let me say first of all that I didn't get swarmed, so I don't know how this suit would perform if I did. But it did give me confidence to set up a shop vac around a couple of yellow jacket nests at our house, and I'm a little scared of yellow jackets. It goes back to when I was a kid, when we botched getting rid of a nest in our front yard, and I had to walk through angry wasps for a few days. I got stung a bunch of times. So, just that this suit gave me confidence to work near the nests was good enough for me. The material is one layer, roughly comparable to jeans. The suit seems well-made. My wife really likes it, because the zippers are good, the suit is well designed, there aren't loose threads, that kind of thing.

good suit, light and cheap, but got stung right through it once.

My husband wore the bee suit when he went out to locate and destroy a large in ground nest of aggressive yellow jackets. The suit did the job and prevented any stings to my husband. My husband who is 5'06" tall at 160 lbs, wore a long sleeve denim shirt, cargo pants, and leather ball cap, underneath the large size suit. The large size fit just right and was very comfortable. The length was a little long, but that was alright, because he just bloused them over his tactical boots. The suit is well made and should last a long time. Also, the included goat skin gloves worked great.

I'm 5'7" and 190 lbs. I bought the medium size and it fits good. The legs are slightly baggy but I'm still happy! The materials all seem to be durable and defect free! It comes with the hood, the suit (with thumb and foot loops), gloves, and a lil storage bag. I bought this to combat a wasp infestation. I haven't got to test it yet but I feel confident it's gonna keep me safe. I would recommend this. Good luck!

Love this be suit. This comes with a great pair of gloves. This suit zips up great and keeps you safe. I feel safe in this bee suit and recommend this suit.

Seemed like. good quality suit, the zipper split almost immediately after a few wears. Got stung multiple time when I realized the bees were getting in at my chest/waist at the opening. Too expensive to replace a whole zipper. Velcro didn’t work great. Waste of money except for the gloves.

My husband is extremely alergic to bee stings, and is under a immunotherapy regime for years. We have 4 acres of grass to cut, and he misses cutting the grass with the tractor! We bought this suit, and he’s back on the tractor! He’s protected and enjoys that activity that was “his” until the allergy surfaced. Peace of mind and safety for a relatively small investment! Quality garment, well made with a good fit!
