Before we get onto the best bee suits, an introductory paragraph is in order. Beekeepers wear bee suits because they frequently get up close and personal with thousands of stinging insects – it is really that simple. While honey bees are well known for their essential placidity (being some of the least aggressive stinging insects around) they do have, as an essential biological function, a tendency to attack if their hive is threatened. As a beekeeper’s job involves opening up a hive to perform all sorts of invasive beekeeping duties, the beekeeping suit has become commonplace. Stings can hurt.
Yet, as anyone who has so much as checked out a few beekeeping tutorial videos on YouTube will be aware, there are beekeepers out there who, with an almost Zen-like aura, manage to get in and about their hives with bare hands, uncovered faces and all sorts of skimpy coverings that strike the novice as brave, mad or both. So do you actually need a bee suit?
The short answer is yes. While some beekeepers might well, after weeks studying the behavior of their hive, feel comfortable going in without much protection, these same beekeepers will always have a suit set aside. The behavior of bees can change and there exist all manner of unexpected events that could lead to a swarm turning aggressive. For beginner beekeepers who do not have any of this intimate knowledge with their bees, neglecting to wear a suit is asking for trouble.
A bee suit will normally consist of five components. These are (from top to bottom):
- hat
- veil
- jacket or a full body suit
- gloves
- foot gear.
The most essential parts here are the face protection and the gloves, for the simple reason that your face is vulnerable, and you will be using your hands to go about your beekeeping duties. Even these expert unprotected beekeepers will have – you can be certain – a pair of gloves very close to hand.
The face covering is also the part of the bee suit that will vary most (split between hood, square, and round shapes) and the shape of the face covering will tend to define the whole suit.
So far, so obvious. But as we move on to what actually makes the best beekeeping suit, things get a little more complicated. This is for the simple reason that, much like almost every other topic within the world of beekeeping, beekeepers themselves do not tend to agree on what, precisely, makes a good beekeeping suit. Of course, there are a few fundamentals, but the debate is a hot one. Certain beekeepers also simply tend to have individual priorities. There is much to consider.

Beekeeping Disclaimer:
Beekeeping, like any agricultural activity, involves inherent risks. It is important to understand these risks and take appropriate measures to mitigate them.
Potential risks associated with beekeeping include:
- Bee stings: Honey bees are generally not aggressive but can become defensive if they feel threatened or their hive is disturbed. Bee stings can cause allergic reactions or even anaphylaxis in some individuals, which can be life-threatening. It is important to wear protective clothing and follow best practices when handling bees to minimize the risk of stings.
- Diseases and pests: Bees can be vulnerable to various diseases and pests, including mites, viruses, and bacterial infections. These can have significant impacts on bee colonies, leading to reduced honey production or even colony collapse. It is important to monitor hives regularly and take appropriate measures to prevent and treat diseases and pests.
- Weather conditions: Extreme weather conditions, such as drought or cold temperatures, can affect the health and productivity of bee colonies. It is important to ensure that hives are appropriately sheltered and provided with adequate food and water.
- Environmental hazards: Bees can be affected by environmental hazards such as pesticide exposure, pollution, and habitat loss. It is important to be aware of these hazards and take appropriate measures to protect bee colonies and promote healthy environments for bees.
- Legal requirements: Beekeeping may be subject to local, state, or national regulations, such as registration or inspection requirements. It is important to be aware of these requirements and comply with them.
While beekeeping can be a rewarding and enjoyable activity, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and take appropriate measures to mitigate them. By following best practices and staying informed about the latest developments in beekeeping, beekeepers can help ensure the health and productivity of their hives and contribute to the well-being of bee populations worldwide.
