Answer. Though these can be convenient, the excessive use of zippers can also be a weakness. With an additional opening on the veil, there is the greater likely hood that these could open when attending your bees or not being fully closed when putting the jacket on, giving an opening for bees to get in.
After all, the main purpose of a beekeeping jacket is to create a sealed and enclosed environment to prevent bees from having unimpeded access to your skin.
Answer. We recommend that you machine wash your suit at 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius). Try not to wring it too hard as this could cause the suit to lose some of its shape.
Please remove the veil from the suit and hand wash this separately so that you can take extra care of the veil's mesh and rim.
We do not recommend the suit is tumble dried because if there are still wax or propolis deposits on the fabric the higher temperatures of the dryer may cause the wax to melt - leading to marks on your next load of clothes through the machine.
It is best to dry the suit by hanging it on a strong plastic hanger and leaving it to air dry. This will help the jacket keep its shape and avoid any accidental damage.
Note: As this a cotton suit, if washed too hot or tumble dried, the suit could shrink about 3%.
The washing instructions can also be found in the collar label on your jacket for your convenience.
Answer. Yes, for bees and yellow jacket wasps when worn correctly. The prime purpose of this suit is to stop bee having direct access to your skin. When the zippers and Velcro are closed fully and securely, bees won’t be able to get inside and sting you.
The cotton fabric on this suit is only a few millimetres thick, a bees’ is stinger is 3mm long and thin enough to get through all fabrics, it is very sharp.
So, if the suit was pressed hard directly against your skin, a bee stinger could still reach you, though it is less than a polycotton suit.
With or without a suit, bees sting. So, your suit will be stung at times. To make sure you stay as sting-free as possible, make sure that the suit fits you baggy and you wear some light long sleeve and full leg underclothing underneath, with a pair of long sleeve gloves and knee-high boots.
We understand that choosing the right size is the hardest part of buying clothing. That is why we offer free returns or exchanges for a full 30 days after purchase.
To help you make the right choice before you buy, please read our sizing help guide and our sizing chart. In short; for best protection, your suit should be baggy and your gloves tight.
Not sure which color to order, don’t worry, just try your favorite color for 30 days. If you still don’t like it then return it within 30 days of purchase for a free exchange. Still in doubt then buy white.
