The 'New Standard' Bee Keeper Suit
Ultimate Protection & Peace of Mind
Confidence in the apiary starts with the right gear. Our 'New Standard' Beekeeper Suit (Jacket & Glove Set) is designed to be the reliable, everyday workhorse for the modern beekeeper. We’ve stripped away the fluff and focused on what actually matters: sting-proof security, crystal-clear visibility, and breathable comfort.
Whether you’re performing your very first hive inspection or managing a commercial yard, this set sets the "new standard" for entry-level professional protection.
Key Features
-
Fencing-Style Veil: The modern, collapsible fencing veil offers a wider field of view compared to traditional round veils. It’s designed to stay off your face even when bending over, and the high-visibility mesh ensures you can spot a queen (or a rogue mite) without squinting.
-
Heavy-Duty Cotton Blend: Crafted from a thick, breathable 280gsm poly-cotton, this jacket provides a rugged barrier against stings while allowing airflow to keep you cool during mid-summer inspections.
-
Professional Gauntlet Gloves: Included in the set are premium leather gloves with extra-long canvas sleeves. The elasticated tops ensure a "bee-tight" seal around your elbows, protecting the most vulnerable gap in your armor.
-
Secure Seals & Thumb Loops: Featuring heavy-duty brass-style zippers with Velcro flap covers and elasticated thumb loops to prevent sleeves from riding up when you're reaching into deep supers.
-
Utility Storage: Equipped with deep chest and waist pockets to keep your [Eyelet Spike], queen cages, or marking pens within easy reach.
