Surrey Bees Bee Suits

A bee suit with a fencing hood and Surrey Bees embroidered logo is designed to provide beekeepers with maximum protection and comfort while working with bees.

Features of the Bee Suit:

1. Fencing Hood:
   • The fencing hood is a type of protective headgear with a mesh screen, offering great visibility and airflow while ensuring complete protection from bee stings. The hood is typically supported by a frame that keeps the mesh away from the face, preventing bees from coming into direct contact with the beekeeper.
   • The fencing style allows for easy movement of the head and neck without any obstruction, unlike other types of hoods that might be bulkier or less breathable.
   • The hood is removable so that it can be hand washed and air dried.
2. Elastic at the Cuffs:
   • Elastic cuffs at the wrists ensure a snug, secure fit to prevent bees from crawling up the sleeves. The elastic is pulled over the thumb to prevent the cuff from riding up.
3. Zip Ankle:
   • The zippered ankles provide an adjustable fit around the legs, making it easier to put on and remove the suit while also ensuring a secure closure around the ankles.
   • Zippered ankles help maintain a tight seal, preventing bees from crawling up the legs and providing better overall protection.
4. Pockets:
   • The suit includes leg and breast pockets that are useful for storing items like gloves, tissues, or other small tools while working. The pockets are typically secured with zippers or Velcro flaps to keep the contents safe and easily accessible.
5. Hive Tool Pocket:
   • A hive tool pocket is a special pocket sewn onto the suit, designed to hold beekeeping tools such as a hive tool, which is used for prying open the hive or scraping off excess propolis or wax. This pocket is conveniently placed for easy access when performing hive management tasks.

Material and Design:

• The bee suit is typically made from durable, breathable material a cotton blend, which helps keep the beekeeper cool during long hours in the hive while also offering sufficient sting protection.
• The fencing hood is usually made from fine mesh with a sturdy frame, offering visibility and ventilation.

Additional Features:
