LONGADS Professional Bee Suit for Men and Women, Full Body Beekeeping Suit with Gloves & Protective Round Veil, Size XL (Fits 65-69 Inches / 5'5"-5'9") for Apiary & Backyard

I recently had a remarkable encounter with a relentless yellow jacket nest that led me to test the boundaries of my bee suit. Armed with determination and my trusty 2x4, I embarked on a mission to remove a massive hive from my property. Amidst the chaos, the bee suit I donned proved to be a game-changer, offering unparalleled protection and ensuring my safety throughout the endeavor. I was removing a massive hive for 30 minutes without a single bite. Durability and Protection: 5/5 From the moment I zipped up the bee suit, I was impressed by its robust construction. The suit held up exceptionally well as I maneuvered around the hive, even with a 2x4 in hand I used to scrape the hive off the bottom of my deck. Notably, not a single bee managed to penetrate the suit's defenses, despite my proximity to their hive and the forceful expulsion of parts of the nest. Hood Design and Accessories: 4.5/5 Wearing a baseball cap under the hood, as suggested by fellow bee warriors, provided an extra layer of protection for my head and face. The hood effectively shielded me from potential stings, although an adjustable tightening mechanism would be a useful addition for a more customized fit. Comfort and Layering: 4/5 Layering proved to be a strategic choice. The thick Carhartt jacket, combined with work jeans, enhanced insulation without compromising mobility. The extra layers, along with duct tape sealing on gloves and ankles, contributed significantly to the suit's effectiveness in keeping the hornets at bay. However, an additional inner lining for added comfort during prolonged use would be appreciated. Ease of Use: 4/5 The bee suit was relatively easy to put on and take off, even under the circumstances of a bee removal operation. The zipper mechanism held up well, and the suit's sizing proved accurate for a comfortable fit over my clothing. In conclusion, the bee suit I used during my yellow jacket nest removal proved itself as a stalwart defender against nature's fierce inhabitants. Its durability, effective hood design, and compatibility with additional layers of clothing are commendable features. While some minor enhancements could elevate its comfort level, the bee suit exceeded my expectations in delivering the protection and peace of mind needed for such daring undertakings.

I just received this item, so I have not actually used it. But my first impression is that it is very well made and very roomy and comfortable. I'm counting on it to keep the bee stings away. Will be trying it out this week. I did order the XXXL based on reviews to size up, but for me that was the wrong move. It was way too big. The XXL fits just fine and that's my actual size. I'm a 5'7" 260lb woman and it's perfect for me. I appreciate the reviews that say wear a hat to keep the screen off of your face. That works perfectly! Gloves fit great. I'm very impressed with the value of the suit and the cost! I can't wait to get into our bees for my first time :)

Last month, we encountered an unexpected situation when a swarm of bees decided to make a temporary home in our backyard vegetable garden. As novice beekeepers, this presented both a challenge and an opportunity. To safely manage the situation, I purchased a beekeeper suit for my husband, who is quite a big guy at 6’1” and around 250 lbs. We have often struggled to find the right fit in the past, but this suit proved to be an exception. The suit arrived in perfect condition, and to our relief, it was a perfect fit for my husband. The quality exceeded our expectations. The fabric feels durable yet comfortable, offering ample protection without sacrificing mobility, which is crucial for beekeeping tasks. The veil provided clear visibility and the suit covered every inch, ensuring maximum protection from bee stings. What impressed us most was the attention to detail in its design. The zippers and elastic bands at the wrists and ankles were of high quality, which are often overlooked in other suits. Plus, it was surprisingly easy to put on and take off, a definite plus after a long day of tending to bees. The price point was the cherry on top. Given the quality and fit, we expected it to be more expensive, but it was quite affordable. This suit not only met but exceeded our expectations. To sum it up, we are more than happy with this purchase. It has allowed us to safely and comfortably manage our new beekeeping adventure. I highly recommend this suit to any novice or experienced beekeeper looking for a reliable, high-quality, and well-fitting beekeeper suit.

Fits good I wish it was a little shorter but I was afraid to get a smaller one because I am short and stout. But this will do the job beautifully. Well made highly recommend

Much more cost effective than others I’ve seen and seems to work. New to bee keeping and the first time I had the transfer the nuc into my hive I didn’t get stung. Time will tell how it holds up but so far so good.

These bee suits work great. We are just getting started in bee keeping so we did not want to spend a ton of money to get started. Just used them for the first time and escaped unstung. Comfortable and easy to put on.

Most reviews are about people using this to work with bees or kill a wasp nest. My need for this suit is completely different! For YEARS we have battled carpenter bees in our yard. We’ve tried everything. Traps, sprays, citrus oils. Traps are great but it hasn’t fixed the problem. Apparently I attract those suckers every single time I step foot outside my back door to take the dogs out. And, yes, I know they don’t sting. But they do divebomb at your head and they terrify the dickens out of me. I absolutely hate spring because of them, and the fear of knowing I have to take the dogs out while dodging them sends my anxiety through the roof. I got the strange idea to put a bubble around me, and thought - why not? Put this on today and it was a game changer! I was able to go outside with the dogs and not worry about those awful bees attacking me. I’m sure it’s probably mostly mental, but this was almost like being inside of a protective bubble. I may look crazy and make the hubby laugh, but at least I’m not stressed anymore! And - like others, I plan to use it to deal with a wasp nest too 🙂

I thought for the price this worked out amazingly for me. I had to get into my fig tree to clean out the over ripe figs that the yellow jackets were feeding on. I put the suit on it fit great very roomy I was nervous about getting stung so I had an extra layer of clothing on and it was still easy to maneuver around in I did order a size larger knowing I was going to do that. It was comfortable very secure and durable with the zippers. My husband was watching over me in case things went sideways and he was saying that the suits was covered in bees but I didn’t even notice. Very worth wild purchase

Good looking bee suit, I havent tried it out yet but I did try it on and it fits good.

Llegó como esperado, sí defiende de las abejas, de hecho lo usé para quitar un panal que tenía en la casa. Nada más sugiero poner en la cabeza una gorra para mejor protección y poner una mascarilla que cubra la boca y la nariz ya que la parte del traje que se pone en la cabeza tiene enfrente una red que podría rozar la nariz y si no tienes protección te van a picar. Por otra parte la medida es para una persona normal que mide hasta 1.80. Más grande no cabes.

Me gustó que llego rápido, lo vi grande pero me quedo bien ya puesto, y las abejas ahora si me hacen los mandados cuando voy por la miel, antes me iba así sin nada pero esto ayuda que no se me cierre la garganta como antes cuando me picaban cuando iba con Manolo al cerro por la miel

I'm normally a medium in regular clothes but I bought an extra large and if fits ok. Had a bunch of wasp nests in and around house and equipment on my property. This allowed me to take care of those and not get stung when swarmed.

Very good quality
