ANDES Sting Proof Bee Suit with Gloves & Fencing Veil, Size XXL(6'3"-6'5") | Professional Beekeeper outfit Kit, Wasp Resistant, Unisex, for Apiary Backyard Halloween Costume, Beginner & Pro

I needed to move a bumblebee nest that was in my chicken coop and did not want to pay $$$$ to a professional. I was afraid the pro might destroy the nest instead of move it because most of the pros around here will only remove and relocate honey bees. Bumblebees can pack a pretty good punch as I discovered when I accidentally kicked their nest, but when not directly disturbed they are pretty benign. The only real problem with them is they increase in number over the summer and I was afraid my chickens would either attack them or visa versa. I am not a beekeeper so do not know how to judge the quaility of a bee suit, but this one seems to be well made with tightly woven material and leather glove/gauntlets. On the advice of another reviewer, I wore a ball cap backwards to keep the back of the head cover away from my neck ....good avice! I was able to go in after dark and gently scoop up the entire nest and relocate it to an old dog house on the far edge of my yard. This was 3 weeks ago and they are still there and thriving! During the move I was attacked around my face but the net kept me safe. I wore jeans and a long sleeved shirt for extra protection and I came out of it unstung. The price was so reasonable! It was worth every penny because not only did it protect me, but it allowed me to keep those precious bees nearby. And now I will have the suit if the need arrises again. I am 5 ft 4 in, 135 lb and I ordered a medium. It was slightly large on me.

At 5 foot 4 and 110 pounds I ordered the medium and it fit well except if I needed to stoop down. The torso length isn’t long enough to allow me to stoop down in this. As long as you are not going to bend over, this will fit perfectly if you are my size. Large would allow me to stoop but then it would be too baggy! It is light and comfortable and of good quality and the zipper runs well. The material feels like a bee could not penetrate! I would wear a baseball cap underneath to keep the screen in front of the face from touching your face. The gloves are real leather and the elastic at the cuffs in the gloves, pants and sleeves are tight enough not to let a Bee fly in, but not so tight that they are uncomfortable!

We survived. I am really happy with this bee suit. It fit well except for the hood, definitely wear a hat of some type to keep the mesh off your face. The gloves were perfect. Definitely worth the money.

I bought the XXL Bee Suit hoping for full coverage, and overall the quality is decent. The suit covers every inch from head to ankle and provides solid protection against bees. The goatskin gloves are thick and protective, the ventilated hood is comfortable with good visibility, and the material feels durable for backyard beekeeping. However, the fit is the biggest issue. Even in XXL, it feels tight around the shoulders and waist, and the elastic bands are a bit too strong, making it uncomfortable during longer use. I wish the sizing was more generous. Other than the fitting problem, it’s a good beekeeper suit for the price and does its main job well.

Read the reviews and ordere the large. I'm 5'10" and it is rather tight in the crotch but overall not too bad a fit. Just difficult to get the hood on while standing. We had an emergency in one of our hives and I did not get stung through the suit. I did however get stung through the leather part of the gloves several times. We actually left the gloves outside for a few days because of the oily smell of the leather was overbearing in the house. Wear good tall shoes or boots and make sure the elastic is over them. I have used a jacket and jeans for years without issues but I got stung several times just below the elastic pants cuff, no fault of the suit. They have now been washed and I will follow up with a report after the next use. Overall for the price it is s better quality than I expected. Time will tell.

I am pretty afraid of bees, but now that I am a homeowner and had them build in various places around my house several times I finally invested $30 into this suit and I am SO glad I did! This suit protects you amazingly from the bees. I never got stung, and I’ve treated the nest twice! I got size extra large - larger than I needed so that someone else could borrow it and I figured it was extra room and protection for me. The first time I used it, I watched the bees crawling all around the mask and I could hear them trying to sting the hood around my head and it was scary. Then I used it the second time knowing they couldn’t sting me and I had a lot more confidence and was able to just focus on getting the dust in their hive. If you are trying to rid your home of bees and are afraid of getting stung, this is an excellent investment! Some of the reviews say that you could get stung in the face if the net gets too close to you and I agree that wearing a baseball hat could help distance the surface of the net from your nose and chin while wearing, but I didn’t even do that on my second time wearing it and it was just fine. You just become conscious of how the hood is positioned And you make sure it is an inch or more away from your face. Excellent excellent product! I highly recommend it.

I’m very impressed by the quality of this suit, I just found out I’m highly allergic to stings and now I feel safe going out to feed my farm animals.

Had a hornets nest in a pot of artificial flowers on front porch. Had already been stung 5 times trying to get flowers out to see extent of damage. This suit worked great, allowing me to get flowers to see what was in there without more stings.

Suit is plenty big. I’m 5.3 medium build and I thought that I had read that the suit ran on the smaller side, so I ordered a large. Too big really but it doesn’t matter in the scheme of things. Better too big than too small. The material is on the thin side. Nice for summer.
