Triple layer mesh ensures great air circulation and keeps you cool, while preventing bee stings. Flow Hive technology drastically reduces the chance of being stung during harvest, but if you drop a full brood frame during a routine inspection, you are sure to attract unwanted attention!
Our unique Flow 3-layer mesh suits provide the best available sting prevention and are purpose designed for functionality for times when even the friendliest beehive gets cranky.
Three intersecting layers of raised fabric sit high and away from the skin, helping to prevent bee stings.
The mesh ensures much greater comfort than traditional suits, allowing breezes in and sweat to evaporate out, perfect for Australian conditions.
Lightweight construction allows for extended beekeeping sessions, so you can get to work like your busy bees even on the hottest days!
Featuring ankle zippers which enable you to put the suit on or remove it without taking off your boots, these roomy suits come with thick, GOTS certified organic cotton lined breast and side pockets, plus knee and elbow gaiters.
Equipped with durable, high quality YKK zippers, a removable fencing veil, anti-bunch elastic thumb and ankle stirrups–these packages also include lightweight, ventilated high-quality gauntlet goatskin gloves and a J-style hive tool handmade from German stainless-steel – offering the ultimate comfort in beekeeping sting prevention.
Tough enough for heavy commercial use, our ventilated 3-layer mesh suits are also perfect for newbees so they can feel cool, confident and comfortable while they learn.
Available in sizes XXS - 5XL, there’s a suit to suit (almost) everybody.

Bee suits are designed to be worn over normal clothing, so we suggest you select 1 size larger than you normally wear.
NOTE: The sizing chart below provides measurements of the beekeeping suit fabric itself, not the body measurements. In order to properly use this chart you need to compare the chart to your own body size measuring over the top of your clothing and include additional length for movement (to allow ankles and wrists to remain covered).
Be sure to give yourself plenty of room to move around. Beekeeper suits are typically worn slightly baggy - you do not want these to be tight fitting. It is the loose fitting cotton material that keeps you from getting stung .
The most important measurement for sizing are:

Beekeeping is a labour of love. As with all animal husbandry, it’s a pastime which requires knowledge, skill and dedication and which carries with it inherent risks.
Beekeeping suits and other personal protective equipment can offer excellent prevention against bee stings, but are not 100% effective. It’s important new beekeepers exercise caution when tending to their hives and are comfortable with the fact that sooner or later, all beekeepers get stung.
