Natural Apiary Max Pro Cotton Suit Includes 2 x Non-Flammable Veils (Round & Fencing) Maximum Sting Protection for Professional & Beginner Beekeepers, 2X Large, Camouflage

Haven’t tried this around any murder hornets yet so I can’t vouch for how sting proof it is but so far seems to be excellent quality. I’m 5’6” and 190 lbs and I got the large (based on the shoulder to crotch measurement on the size chart) it looks HUGE when unfolded but when I put it on, the body part seems to fit well. The arms and legs are a bit long but that will be ok to have the extra room for protection and will allow for my boyfriend to borrow it if need be. There are heel stirrups on the legs and thumb straps on the arms. Where the zippers meet at the neck is reinforced by a big piece of Velcro for added protection. The mesh screen on both veils seems thick and of good quality. The fencing hood veil pops out nicely Away from my face to avoid those nose tip bee stings. This was a concern as my nose is pretty big. The hat veil seems pretty nice too. Comes with a carry bag and a card to register the suit to activate your warranty. Tag says the main suit part is machine and hand washable and ok to dry clean. I had been fantasizing about this $300 suit for a while and ended up buying it on prime day when I saw it was 50% off so I couldn’t resist! So far I’m pretty happy with it and will recommend and buy from this company again!

I absolutely LOOOVE my pink beekeeping suit and here's why:This year was my first time beekeeping, as of just recently actually, and this particular suit held up to the relentless stinging 'kamikaze' dive-bombs my Carnolian hive kept repeatedly attempting. Not having received my smoker quite yet, I urgently needed to add on a secondary Brood Box for my recently expanding Nuc (for fear of potential swarming, nearly all the frames were filled..) and boy did this make me feel safe from all the extremely anxious ladies buzzing around my head. As a first timer I was rather nervous and seeing them get increasingly distressed didn't help (of course, in all their right, who would like someone trespassing inside their home?) but regardless of the tension, the protection this suit offered made me feel *far* better! After being constantly pelted by my colony I managed to come out with ZERO stings, not even a single stinger was implanted into the material. I'm really happy with the way the fabric held up, so much so, I decided to order a pink beekeeping jacket provided by the same seller!The color option is also another satisfying feature with these beekeeping suits, for both female/male beekeepers, as the mandatory white hue provided by other retailers gave off a CDC suit type 'vibe' that might put off onlooking neighbors. Pink was my happy medium between seeming like less of a threat to my neighbors and my bees (I read somewhere you don't want to wear too dark of colors, like black, it gives off a predatory appearance). For anyone pondering a pink beekeeping suit, the color is as shown in the image, and the sewing job is impeccable (not a single loose string or stitch). Everything about the overall fit is also an included bonus, not too tight and not too baggy, I'm able to move freely without getting restricted. This has been one of my best purchases thus far! I'ma pink ball of beekeeping joy!(Perhaps I will update later with images).

These suits run quite big for a medium and seem a little long in the legs, but it is one of the most comfortable bee suits I've worked in. The material is heavy duty and has kept me safe while working several hot hives on multiple occasions. The veil is made with a heavy duty mesh of some sort. The hood is designed in such a way that it does a great job keeping the veil off your face unlike other suits out there. The suit came with an extra round veil that is also heavy duty. One thing to point out, the round veil is scrunched up during shipping. It's hard to straighten it out after, so you're basically looking through creases. That can make it hard to see clearly while doing inspections. Other than that, I would recommend this suit to any beekeeper. It is a bit more expensive, but the quality is very good and offers a decent level of protection.

My husband has wanted to get into bee keeping for a very long time but I was hesitant about the whole thing. Images of swarms circling him while he flailed about being stung kept rampaging through my mind. I admit, sometimes I want to kill him, but I don't really want him to die.Not too long ago, he apparently decided he was tired of waiting on me to get on board and ordered the bee keeping suit. The man is not dumb. That was the perfect place to start with supplies to get me comfortable with the idea. I don't think he could have chosen a better suit!Besides the fact it is all one piece and has elastic loops for both hands and feet to keep it all in place, it is really well made. I inspected every seam, the zippers, the whole nine yards. My man is going to be well protected. He said the suit fit well and it was easy to see through the veil. He also liked the large pockets.I do have one little warning for men with beards that we discovered the hard way. Guys, tie up and tuck in your beard before zipping up your suit. Apparently, zipping beards in doesn't feel all that great.

This suit was alot thinner then I was expecting. The veils attachment to the suit is great and the fit is good. On my 3rd wear I was stung twice 2 minutes apart. I had on a t-shirt under my suit but was still stung in the back and upper arm. I am new and had pissed off the girls but still don't trust this suit. I now wear my dickies cotten overalls (which I started with and are thicker) under my suit. Haven't been stung since.

The suit I never had an issue with till yesterday evening never had a bee get in never stung threw it was amazing. Then I sweated in it and my back was sweating and I guess it was stuck to me not sure but my bees were Very angry I was messing with them to last in the afternoon I guess but was stung over 30 times threw it over all and all were the same evening I was pissed because I still had to get to top on the box and a few frames back in and had to endure a few more stings so I don’t recommend this suit at all at first I would but now after this I can’t say I like is anymore built well just to thin for my bees I guess

Excellent quality product, as good as I expected and appears to be value for the money. Time will tell of course.Well thought-through design features compared with my first (cheaper) suit, such as a zipped bib for the hood making closure easy around the upper chest instead of under the chin close to the throat. Comes with a long-peaked cap to keep the mesh face-piece away from a vulnerable long nose!

Arrived promptly; quality as good as expected; fabulous design of area where hood meets suit giving additional confidence regarding protection. I did think the hood was detachable but maybe I haven't worked that one out yet!

A lovely product.With health reasons that demand high protection I doubt I could find better.The veil is much better than any other suit I've had - clear visibility.I would highly recommend this product.

Great

Great service on time delivery good quality great product. Very pleased. Thank you
