Cotton Beekeeping Overall

Choose a straightforward traditional bee suit for regular hive work with the Cotton Overall from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies. Made using a European-style design, this durable full-body garment is suitable for both backyard beekeepers and professionals looking for dependable protective clothing at a practical price.

The suit is made from quality cotton fabric and includes a Sherriff-style veil that can be thrown back over the head when you are safely away from active bees.

Traditional Construction with Practical Features

The design keeps things simple:

• Quality cotton fabric
• Throw-back Sherriff-style veil
• Elasticated cuffs
• Heavy-duty front zip
• Full-body overall coverage
• Machine-washable main garment
• Detachable veil for separate washing

The veil should be removed before the cotton overall is machine washed and cleaned separately by hand.

Wide Adult Size Range

The product uses traditional imperial sizing from size 5 through size 14.

Equivalent range:

• Size 5 – approximately XXS
• Up through
• Size 14 – approximately 5XL

Therefore, the current overall range extends from XXS to 5XL. Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies recommends contacting the team if help is needed with sizing because protective garments are intended to fit differently from ordinary shirts or casual clothing.

Buying Options

• One complete cotton overall per selected size
• Sizes approximately XXS to 5XL
• Limited Kunstelj-made Slovenian versions may also be available separately

The remaining Kunstelj overalls use a nylon zipper and do not include a veil stiffener. Availability should be confirmed before ordering.

A Classic Alternative to Mesh Suits

Cotton suits provide a traditional alternative to ventilated three-layer mesh clothing. They may suit beekeepers who prefer solid fabric or who work in conditions where maximum ventilation is not the primary consideration.

For warmer Australian conditions, choose appropriate lightweight clothing underneath and avoid working colonies during extreme heat whenever possible.

No bee suit guarantees complete protection from stings. Always check the veil, zipper, cuffs and seams before entering the apiary.
