Purchased this bee suit in 2021. Absolutely love it. I’ve purchased multiple jackets and suits and this one by far has the best veil. The mesh is very soft so it allows for you to move easily it doesn’t bend in towards your face like others do.

The triple layer suit seems to be sting-proof so far. However, the second time I wore the suit to transfer a Nuc, I got stung in the upper lip because the hood is too small and does not keep the net away from the wearer’s face. The sizing is also off. I recommend ordering at least one to two sizes larger than what you think you need. I bought this suit because it had good ratings on an article on a beekeeper website. For the amount of money I paid for this thing, I am extremely disappointed with its performance. Why make a good suit and skimp on the hood? Size of hood is better suited for a child’s suit. I would not recommend this product and would like to return it to get my money back.

This suit is very well made and provides great ventilation plus great protection against stings. I feel much more at ease in the beeyard in this full suit compared to a jacket. I also like that the hat/veil part of the suit are smaller than what I had before. I find this much more comfortable. So far very pleased with my purchase!!

war anfangs begeistert!Sehr stichfest und luftig.Der Zipp könnte besser sein.Der Grund warum ich nicht mehr kaufen würde ist jedoch dass netzmaterial im Sichtbereich.Jetzt nach 2 Jahren fängt dieses Drahtähnliche Material an brüchig zu werden, was bedeutet dass sich überall wo es leicht knickt kleine Löcher entstehen.Ich nähe nur ungern....

Mein Lebensgefährte ist Imker und er hat schon viele Imkeranzüge anprobiert, aber keiner ist so gut wie dieser. Dieser Imkeranzug ist sehr gut belüftet und hat eine tolle Verarbeitung. Er sitzt einwandfrei und man ist gut geschützt vor Bienenstichen.Super Produkt, wir würden es jederzeit wieder kaufen.

TO THE COMPANY PLEASE MAKE SIZES 4X 5X 6X SO A MEDIUM TO LARGE PERSON CAN GET A SUIT TO FIT COMFORTABLY LOOSE. I ordered size xxx[3x with Round Veil] because I wanted loose oversized suit. but at 5 foot 7 inches and larger muscular body type I barely fit the triple x. a six foot person would not be able to wear suit unless very thin body and suit skin tight.. I do enjoy the fabric protection from bee stings, now only my lamb skin gloves let a rare stinger reach me. the veil is close to the face so make sure you have it pulled out and away from face. I am not bothered by the closeness I can see better into hive. but I do understand how some people might be uncomfortable by having the honey bees only an inch from nose. I GAVE A 3 [50/50] REVIEW fix the sizes and I would give a 5 star.

I love this suit! It works so much better than my last, more conventional suit and hood. After a bee crawled up under my old hood (the kind with the string that you tie around your waste) and stung me on the neck, I decided to get a suit that zips closed so bees cannot get in. This suit does just that. Now I have no worries about bees getting in. The fabric is comfortable and breathable and the hood does not fall down in front of my eyes like my old hood. This is a great bee suit! I got one for my husband and he loves it as well.

Kann man auch nur das Kopfteil nach kaufen ? Sehr guter Anzug passt optimal und schon sehr oft in Einsatz gewesen und noch gar keinen Stich bekommen.

Very comfortable suit to work in. I used it on a second floor extraction of honey bees the first day. The second day I snagged it on the ladder and sliced the mesh. Completely my fault but it ripped rather easy. I think I will be able to sew the rip together by hand. The zipper is thick and seals great. I have noticed putting the veil back on is not easy as the zipper is stiff. That being said the zipper should work in. Great suit to use and comfortable. Sizing: I am 6 foot and 240 pounds and this fits about perfect.

My husband loves this bee suit. It’s cool in our Texas summers and easy to put on. So far it’s kept out any curious buzzer. Worn one season so far.UPDATE: Loved the suit so much that I bought one for me also. Unfortunately, I had a hard time finding one that fit. The folks at HumbleBee were wonderful, allowing me to try on and exchange suits with no hassle at all. Return postage was even provided! All I had to do was repackage the unused suit, print out a label that they provided, and carry it to the UPS store. No fuss no muss and the folks at Humble Bee were very helpful and friendly.My husband's gloves are worn out (not from HumbleBee) and so our next purchase will be made with confidence at HumbleBee.

Erste Male Imkern im neuen Anzug: Bewegungsfreiheit, gute Sichtfreiheit bei gut sitzendem Hut, guter Schutz.GRÖSSE: Unproblematischer Umtausch in eine passende Größe. Die Größenangaben stimmen nicht mit den normalen Konfektionsgrößen überein. Meine Konfektionsgröße 38 (S - M) / Körpergröße 164 cm; hier habe ich letztendlich Größe XS gekauft. Größe S war viel zu breit und im Schritt deutlich zu lang. Bei Größe XXS etwas wenig Bewegungsfreiheit und im Schritt leicht zu kurz.MATERIAL: wie gestärkte Gardine, dreilagig; luftig, aber etwas kratzig; mit Leggins und Longshirt darunter angenehm. Die Waschanleitung sagt "nicht waschbar", wahrscheinlich aufgrund der Reißverschlüsse. Im Bettbezug, bei abgetrenntem Hut müsste sich der Anzug waschen lassen; evtl. geht dabei etwas die Stärkung verloren. Vielleicht trägt er sich dadurch sogar angenehmer auf der Haut. Da dreilagig, sollte er durchstechsicher bleiben. Sehen wir mal.2 Jahre später - Abzug von 2 SternenBegründung: der Abstandshalter-Ring des Hutes ist zu klein im Durchmesser. Beim Hoch und runter des Kopfes während der Arbeit an den Bienen kommt es immer wieder vor, dass die schwarze Gaze des Sichtfensters am Gesicht anliegt. So war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, dass die Bienen durchgestochen haben. Da der übrige Anzug sich gut bewährt hat und durchstichsicher ist, habe ich versucht, die Position des Hutes auf dem Kopf durch Hochstecken der Haare bzw. Mütze/Tuch auf/um Kopf zu verändern ... bringt aber nicht wirklich Abhilfe. Nun bin ich auf der Hut, da ich im Anzug ansonsten gut imkern kann und er zuverlässig vor Stichen schützt.Sollte der Hersteller demnächst Imkerhüte anbieten, die besseren Schutz garantieren und das Anliegen der Gaze am Gesicht verhindern und sich an genau diesen Anzug anzippen lassen, wäre das Problem gelöst ... Ich würde mir diesen neuen Hut kaufen und es gäbe 5 Sterne.

Where has this suit been all my life?!? I absolutely LOVE it... I live in south south! Louisiana and it gets HOT here... removing wild bees takes time and my old suit was soaking wet 30 min into a job, leaving it clung to my skin and target of sting after sting... no longer! This suit is very well made and stays dry and off my skin... only found one issue and that is the hood... not wide enough of a brim to keep the screen far from your face... I recommend a ball cap or visor to be worn to help with that... otherwise it's an A+ in my book! Planning on sewing in plastic piping to stiffen up the face screen...
