Suits

Standard suits are very similar to professional suits below, main difference is in the hoods. Full-length, strong and comfortable, made from 100% unbleached cotton, with attached hood and elastic added to arms and legs.  Leg and arms have an elastic loop to keep them extended while working.  Zips on legs so you don’t have to remove boots when putting on or removing suit. Sizes based on height, assuming average build, are as follows. If a bit on the heavy side, go up a size. Smaller sizes available for kids, see entry below. 

For complete protection the Bindaree bee suit has:

• strong removable nylon mesh veil
• choice of two hoods
• strong cotton fabric
• front and rear pockets
• velcro openings to inside pockets
• elastic cuffs on sleeves and legs
• large range of sizes
• made in New Zealand

These are the suits used by many professional beekeepers. Attached hood can be unzipped and flipped back or removed entirely. Elastic is added to the arms and legs. Please specify the type of hood you would like: single panel (shown in photo) or collapsable with side panels that fold out from face.

Sizes are numbered from 4 to 15 corresponding to height above five feet. Size chart below assumes a moderately overweight or muscular individual. If thin, size can be reduced one or two sizes from what is shown on chart. If heavy, add one or two sizes to what is shown. If not sure, ring for advice.

Kids are naturally interested in beekeeping, but they could loose interest quickly if stung. There are white suits available just like mum and dad’s. Sizes for kids age 4 to 11 years.
